EdBanger

Must have been living under a Rock, didn't see this till now. having just read tru all the post I must add my heartfelt congratulations to the list, and also Pete, don't worry about certain People opinion, just look at the Karma it says it all. oh and here while I'm at it have some of mine fore good luck

omnicorp

whats wrong with my opinion!?

Kazujo

I've only just found this thread, FANTASTIC and about time. Congrats to all the Phantom crew

Mark in the UK

Been watching on from the UK with interest. We've got a chain of stations called 'Real Radio' here but looks like there's finally gonna be one that's worthy of the name.

Hurry up and sort a launch date, any excuse to get over to Dublin!

omnicorp

yeah, very few good radio stations since Phantom were closed, things are about to change though

Shanannigan

I was thrilled to hear the news that phantom got their licence, even though i live in cork, and won't benefit directly by hearin you on air, there is still web-broadcasts though i hope... but this bodes well for the rest of the country with an alternative radio station gettin a licence theres hope that other cities might see the light also... roll on indie station in cork... also for bands nationwide an alternative radio station is a good resource to tap into the dublin audiences.. but sure us cork langers know good music when we hear it anyway... tis hard to get a joke across on a message board, or do i just tell 'em wrong.. anyway welldone phantom ya feicers, slán

miss serena

As a Cork bioure myself I must agree that this is hopefully the stepping stone for the rest of Eire. Places like Cork and Galway really need to be heard in terms of their musical worth. Oooh, maybe when Phantom is such a success in Dublin, they'll go nationwide! That's a warm fuzzy thought!

omnicorp

now there's a business oppurtunity.
I'm moving to Cork and starting me a radio station...
It should spread indie and alternative rock music throughout the country though,
Then we can stamp on Joe Duffy's body and the war will be won...!
only messing

el oaf

Congrats lads.
Justice has been done. hip hip!!!!!!!
hope you had a blast Pete.
see you in a couple of days

scarfacemj

When will Phantom start broadcasting and on what frequency?

djmike

early july.
the freq hasnt been confirmed yet.

Rockiemalt

105.5 I think is going to be the new frequency...

omnicorp

wasn't there some problem with Zed FM?

asp

Yeh there was. Something about someone from a certain irish magazine wanting phantom closed. I wont give his name. Ok, lets call him Nial 'X'. wait, no thats too obvious. Lets call him 'X' Stokes. Cant remember exactly, but Pete told me one night in Whelans. The conversation then turned on to women. I fell asleep shortly afterwards.

G'wan the phantom

rock angel

Thats terrible "asp" just goes to show what a shower of begrudging bastards there are around.

Looking to keep the likes of phantom down!

I think not!

Roll on July.

legspin

What exactly was Mr. X complaining about, and whats the latest on the entire topic anyway. It has me a little concerned.

Thanks for the links. This much I knew already. I thought there had been further developments. Cheers anyway

I totally missed all that stuff.
Man, Hot Press are a bag of muppets, well, that's not fair, it's just the owner that is (and a fair whack of the writers too!).
Why the fúck can't they just face up to the fact that Phantom won because they had the better proposal? Sure, they're well known because of their pirate days but at least that gives them a strong base.
There's no chance I'd listen to Zed FM, especially not if it followed the same line as Hot Press magazine in regards jacking off mates and their bands on a daily basis

If the people behind ZED were really so shocked, why didn't they say (or do) anything back
in November? By leaving it so close to Phantom's air date, and by waiting until Phantom has
actually committed real money to the station, this is less about the BCI's decision, and more
like an attempt to inflict maximum damage to the winning party.

It's a low blow, by sore losers. Shame on the lot of them!

It's a bit high and mighty of them to claim that Phantom got their reputation off the backs
of pirate activity - all pirate activity had ceased after the temporary license was awarded.

Haven't read it since I stopped contributing to it.

touché.
From what I understand the last few licences give out have been contested in court, Hot Press are just being sore losers, and as you said, trying to damage Phantom as much as they can. If I bought the magazine I'd stop out of protest
