Radiowaves.FM is a totally independent site about Irish radio, past and present. It started life in December 1999 as a tribute site to the pirate stations of the '70s and '80s - a wonderful, and unique, era in radio unmatched anywhere else in the world at any time. We carried recordings of these long-gone stations offering visitors to the site another chance to hear their favourite stations of the past in all their glory.

In those early days there was a small section for current industry news and bandscans from the present day. These regularly updated sections quickly took off, proving extremely popular with visitors.

As an independent site Radiowaves.FM does not have a policy regarding the status of any radio station, for us radio is radio and our aim is to reflect the radio industry as it happens and develops in Ireland.

Over the years the site has vastly expanded over time and is a one-stop shop for information on radio, whether historical or contemporary. Pick a section from the information on the right and browse away.

Please enjoy your time on our site and don't forget to drop us a line with updates or feedback.
