iRadio
iRadio is a music-driven youth radio station broadcast in the Border, West, Mid-East and Midlands regions of the Republic of Ireland. The station is one of four music-driven youth stations that were licensed by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland to challenge the current duopoly in the 15-34 age bracket for those outside Dublin by national stations RTÉ 2FM and Today FM.
