Radio station in Cork, Ireland
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]
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]
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]
