Oh the joy, I've been wrecking my friends heads going on and on about this. Damn I wish I could come out and celebrate with you crazy cats! Please have another night out for us listeners, bring back phantasm!

Better news I could not have heard. This is excellent, congratulations to each and everyone of you. Ne'er a more sincere or decent bunch have I heard behind the mic!

Pete, Ger and all at phantom FM congratulations from one who has listened to your broadcasts on Coast FM in the early 1990s I can say that no one deserved that licence more than you lot did.

So you finally got the License! After so many dissappointments in the past, ye kept plugging away to provide a quality alternative music station. Congratulations, here's to the future success of phantom!

Kin'ell kids thats great news. Hope you aren't to hungover today.

Any way hear you live next year.....

magpie · 09-11-2004 11:36am

Good work gentlemen, I admire your resolve. I would have given up years ago. Now you have the licence you can carry out your masterplan and do a Q102. Easy hits from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s here we come

Seriously though, well done!

trent_derby · 09-11-2004 11:55am

Kudos to you!!!

Stepherunie · 09-11-2004 12:15pm

Woohoo!! And i'm actually in Dublin now to enjoy the delights of Phantom on the actual radio job thingy. Yes. Ladidah.

Hope everyone had a good night at the village!

stimpson · 09-11-2004 12:15pm

And I'd just spent a fortune on an in car kit for my iPod... oh well, I suppose I could stick it in the buy and sell

Well done boys and girls - been a fan for about 6 years now and you've been sorely missed. It'll be great not to be worried about you being forced to close down without notice!

Oh, and I suppose it'll be EVEN HARDER to get a song played on the radio now... :rolleyes:

09-11-2004 1:07pm

/me tips hat and adds to the well dones!

I understand that you wont be on air officially with the new licence untill the summer of next year, is that correct?

dregin · 09-11-2004 1:11pm

Jimmynohands · 09-11-2004 2:00pm

Yeah, nice one! Now all I've gotta do is get the radio back outta hock, seeing as there'll be something worth listening to again...

giallorossi · 09-11-2004 2:21pm

Has too be the best thing i have heard in ages i am delighted for phantom, bout bleedin' time too.

dairemcanallen · 09-11-2004 2:52pm

Well done Phantom. Been a fan since '99. About time it's back on and as I've been involved in a similar struggle with the BCI in regards my local station Dundalk FM I know how hard and frustrating it can be. Just make sure that the hard work and patience you put in to get on air wasn't in vain by going all out to provide the best station you can. Keep up the good work.

demosuzki · 09-11-2004 2:55pm

may vongrats
breath of fresh air :-)

WELL DONE!!

acquiescefc · 09-11-2004 3:01pm

Well done for sticking with it. Youve introduced a lot of people to a lot of good music and thats what makes you special.

You deserve everything you got and not to be beaten by a no brains/no idea outfit you should be all be proud for the 'little guy'.

Hopefully SC is handing his notice in as we speak and getting his alarm clock out again??

5 years on/off a listener and 10 more to come

jofhomme · 09-11-2004 3:07pm

congrats to all in phantom towers, hope the hangovers aren't too crippling. At last the best team won. Hope there'll still be a good chance of winning the competitions now yez are mainstream...
