Freedom FM

During the summer of ’95, Freedom FM had to move to 102.9 FM due to the establishment of Pulse FM on 103.2 FM. Even with this separation, Pulse’s mighty power output was killing Freedom’s weak signal. In early 1996, I suggested that Simon and Andy re-position the station to 92.4 FM, for two reasons. Firstly, Q95 were linking on 92.0 FM and hadn’t had any problems being so close to 2FM, and secondly, I could see the IRTC allocating the frequencies at the higher end of the band to licensed stations, forcing the established pirates off the air (Which is what subsequently happened). I argued that being down so close to RTE, no-one was going to interfere with our signal, and we were assured of a long tenure on that spot on the dial.

We hope that reliving the 90s and noughties through music, fun and friendship helps you to re-connect to what’s important to you. Thank you for listening to Freedom 92FM…now go off and tell your friends!
