    Who remembers Channel D, Independant (sic) Televison for Dublin? It went on the air in 1981 for a couple of months and it was true ****e but it was different...

    No, that was Nova TV, which was on the air for four days and prompted the P&T to close Nova down for a week.

    Channel D was a joint venture between Dr. Don of ARD and the Big D AM radio pirates. It stayed on the air for 6 weeks in the summer of 1981.

    Anyway, you (Dee) should remember TV Caruosel, the TV version of Drogheda's Radio Carousel.

    Also, this BB is moderated, so the following word S*** should appear as S***!

    Don't swear now Kids!

    Hiya Ritchie, How did you guess it was me?!
    Sorry about the confusion. I don't remember it personally, but I did read about it some time ago in a book on pirates.

    TV from Drogheda, my word, the world's greatest broadcasting myth; as no TV or Radio signal ever enters or leaves....

    I'm just waiting for a 100 GB HD (in my dreams!) so that I can put all my pirate radio tapes on in MP3 format ;-)

    Pirate TV? Are there any stations now? Wasn't there one in Cork a few years back?

    Can't say I remember that channel myself.

    Oh and Cloud, I have a few 100GB HD's lying around gathering dust if you want to throw some of those pirate radio tapes onto them ;)
