This recording is of mid-morning programmes from the spring of 1984, before the RTÉ jamming campaign against the pirates would extend to Sunshine. First up is the end of the breakfast show with David Lyons and Cathy Cregan, who are followed by Tony Garreth (Gareth O’Callaghan) with a 3-hour music show until midday. There is a holiday slot and other features, as well as the familiar high-level adverts for larger businesses and brands. News is read by Gary Miley and Cathy Cregan.
The recording was made from 101.5 FM between 0854-1034 on Thursday 1st March 1984 and is from the Anoraks Ireland Collection. Gareth O’Callaghan later moved to other Dublin pirates Radio Nova and Energy 103 and continues to broadcast on independent radio to this day.
