    DUBLIN - Phantom FM, the popular Dublin based modern rock radio station is to make a return to the FM waveband this weekend. The station, in association with The Village Venue and Whelans of Wexford Street, has secured a second Temporary Radio Licence from the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) allowing it to broadcast for 14 successive weekends over a three-month period. This follows a successful Temporary Radio Licence schedule undertaken in 2003. The return of Phantom FM, albeit on a temporary basis, will be welcomed by thousands of musically disenfranchised Dubliners in a city where a dedicated full-time specialist alternative rock service has so far been lacking.

    An alternative rock programme schedule will be broadcast, consisting of Irish and international indie/alternative rock artists and including a heavy emphasis on emerging talent from the Irish scene, a sector under-represented on the play lists of the existing commercial stations. Live interviews and ‘in studio’ sessions will be a regular feature of programming that will be presented by enthusiastic and informed presenters.

    Phantom FM will broadcast on a new frequency 92.1 MHz FM across Dublin city every weekend commencing on March 27th right through until the final broadcast in the series on June 27th, 2004. Programming will run each weekend from midnight Friday until midnight Sunday. Outside of these hours the station will continue to transmit via the web at www.phantomfm.com.

    More details to follow!

    I was starting to go mad due to the complete lack of decent radio(bar a few exceptions) will it be the same schedule as last time?

    But hey it's better than nothing! So "woo hoo" for you!

    Congratu-friggin-lations, I know it must of been lots of hard work and hope that it's a needed and all too necessary step in the direction of being awarded a full-time broadcasting liscence. I'm pleased that I will have Phantom back on the weekends and will make sure that my pc's speakers are turned up nice and loud so I don't miss a song or a live word said!

    Again "good for you"

    Does this mean that the chatroom will be busting at the seams again?

    Hey can I call in and request songs and then leave ya nasty messages when you play the worng song? ;)

    Best news I've heard since... well the last time Phantom announced that they would be broadcasting again.

    GO PHANTOM.

    The 2 pete's talk rubbish is the best program ever aired, pure comic genius.

    Conor.
