Irish Radio

[MIKE0153]

I am not sure if this is the place for this, but I thought I would try.
I was curious as to what Ireland listens to, so I did a search, and I came up with a site that lists several Irish radio stations online.

http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/irish.asp

Now, be aware, you WON'T be hearing CW.
But, I thought it might give us insight into the culture that gave us CW.

I could just picture Chloe, on the first morning after her return home after a long tour, rising from the first night in her own bed in five months, turning on 98FM in Dublin, and being happy to be home.
I hope you enjoy it.

Dave here,
just saw this and tried the link but it will not play.

Mags often listens to Irish radio while on her computer so I took a look at which radio stations she has. They all have 'Listen Live' links.

Her favorite of course is TippFM. www.tippfm.com
We listen to it when we're driving around over there.

this one : www.todayfm.com/default.asp

this in County Mayo : www.midwestirishradio.com/index1.htm

national radio : www.rte.ie/radio

RTE in Irish : www.rte.ie/rnag  - the live link on the right has a little radio pic.

The website itself doesn't play.
It gives a list of some thirty Irish radio stations that have an online feed.  Scroll down on the page, and you'll find a list of stations with a button at the end of each line, either red or yellow, sometimes both.  Press the button, and the audio will come up.  It takes a few seconds to connect, and, of course, you have to have player software for that particular station.  (every one that I've tried needs either RealPlayer or Microsoft Media Player, the latter coming with Windows, the former available online.)
I hope this helps!

Hey Mike,
  Thanks for the link.  I've tried two stations and they are both playing country musi!!!     I'm listening to Willie Nelson right now.  Let me know if you browse them and find one not country.

Midwest Irish Radio is what I listen to at home and when I'm in Ireland.

I enjoy listening to LiveIreland.com.  They've got two radio streams - One is Traditional & Folk, and the other is Contemporary.

Take Care,

I've listened to another Meav interview there from Ireland. I seem to think it's like a secret.
