    So I was flicking around the band earlier and came across Spirit FM (maybe it was god's plan for me to hear it at the right time - who knows?) Anyway, they were airing a promo looking for their listeners to fundraise to bring Spirit Radio to more towns and cities across Ireland. Stop me if I'm wrong but is this not already the case with their AM frequency?

    Also, if they were to raise a load of dosh, surely there's still the matter of a little thing called a broadcast license to operate on FM in the areas not already covered by their FM signal? Maybe just a harmless fundraising promo, but call it what it is then, rather than portraying it to be a chance to get more tx sites...

    Their broadcast licence provides for far more FM outlets than they currently have. I'd be of the opinion they should have lost it for failure to actually meet the licence by now.

    I dont know why they aren't awash with advertising income ? According to their own listenership research, they are the second highest rating radio station in the country after RTE Radio 1:D

    Probably trying to gear up for the propaganda push once the abortion referndum is announced.
