    Energy 101 is old-school radio; we play requests, our presenters express their personalities with music picked by themselves (all live,no voice tracking and no playlisting or automation).

    We're extremely grateful to several individuals and groups who are relaying Energy 101 across FM, Medium Wave, Shortwave, and Online today, this allows us to reach an audience and we hope people are enjoying what we're doing. We think it's worth trying anyway.

    Get a higher power tx better site and use one frequency for citywide coverage. At the moment you are hogging 3 FM with the same output.

    Dublin today...

    87.6 - Chill FM
    88.1 - Now FM
    91.0 - Hot FM
    92.0 - Relay of Energy 101
    93.2 - Relay of Energy 101
    94.3 - Phever
    101.2 - Energy 101
    107.1 - Trax

    92.0 / 93.2 are a waste of 2 frequencies.
    How ?
    Unfortunately none of the 3 frequencies can give city/county wide coverage so it makes a lot of sense to combine and have live programming all day long something which none of the stations could achieve as independent stations.

    Also on 1395AM btw

    92.0 and 93.2 can give citywide coverage using the right site and tx power. It's been done in the past.

    Relaying the same output across all 3 is hogging for the sake of it.

    Could you let us know where this site with citywide coverage is? And the 'right tx power'? Thanks.

    Times have changed - as for hogging frequencies - there are frequencies available if required for use by others

    Regardless of hogging.

    Your using three frequencies illegally. Simple as that.

    ComReg might just about turn a blind eye to one, but IMO you are going to bring unneeded attention on yourselves.

    Just an observation, it doesn't bother me one way or another if you use 1 or 100!

    Best of luck.

    Frank is a scam artist. Do not believe the what he posts online or what he talks about on air. It's all exaggerated or fabricated.

    Whoever heard of a competition with no end date? It's only designed to get people on Facebook to share. There is no free holiday. Wait and see some friend of the station or a fake user account "win".

    Who would honestly go on a Frank Kennedy vacation anyways?

    iRadio was off air this morning between 6-8. Couldn't hear them at all on 104.7 in Dublin but could get a faint signal from 105.0 Not sure what site was down. I wonder was it planned or emergency works?

    104.7 is Saggart (Slievethoul) I think?

    The audio has sounded dreadful since late last year from it.

    Indeed. 104.7 is Saggart, I believe it's directional towards Kildare/Meath and blocked towards Dublin city. 105.0 is Mount Oriel

    Why dont Hot fm and Now fm improve streaming audio as both sound flat and levels vary hugely

    Hot fm must be using windows media player for automation or something else very basic. Gaps between audio or poor crossfading.

    Listening to the RTE Gold relay on RTE Radio 1 on Friday morning and the same gapping and non existent cross fading was occurring - poor show from all involved

    Oh dear, that's bad form on the part of RTE - especially from Gold, which should be one of the better digital stations. No excuses at all.

    That 99.5 never had dj’s and I don’t think they ever will, it sounds to me like a one man operation that’s has been running very poorly for a very long time

    Lovely signal and good quality audio on 99.4 on the South West side of the city - no RDS - Fresh normally stronger on the South East
