Background
The station plays music from top-selling artists spanning the decades from the 1950s to the 1990s. Unlike other classic hits stations RTÉ Gold digs deeper into artists' back catalogues and also plays top album tracks.
Weekday programming has presenter led programmes from 7am - 10am and 3pm to 9pm. Weekends there is a full presenter led schedule from 6am to 9pm.
On 6 November 2017, presented weekday breakfast and drivetime programmes will be introduced, hosted by RTÉ radio presenters Will Leahy and Rick O'Shea.[1]
