RTÉ Radio Cork, also known as RTÉ Cork Local Radio and Cork 89FM, was a local radio station in the Republic of Ireland serving Cork City. [3] [4] [5] [6] The FM signal spilled into Ballincollig and Carrigaline, but the rest of County Cork had to rely on the medium wave signal. It was shut down in 2000. [7] [8]
History
Radio broadcasting in Cork began in 1927 with 6CK, which operated primarily as a local relay for the Dublin-based 2RN, but also produced some of its own content.
RTÉ Cork Local Radio was established on 2 March 1974 [9] as an opt-out service which operated for a limited number of hours per week, relaying the national service ( RTÉ Radio 1) at other times. The service was popular but had its hands tied by the limited number of local hours it could output, before reverting the Dublin feed. [10]
In 1989, RTÉ Cork Local Radio was rebranded as "Cork 89FM." [11] It became "RTÉ Radio Cork" in 1994, [12] and was closed in 2000 due to low audience share. [13]
Programmes
One of the most prominent broadcasts was the soap opera Under the Goldie Fish. The title referred to the gilded fish which acts as a weather vane atop the Church of St Anne, Shandon. [14]
