Monday, October 8th, 2007The long-awaited BCI decision on the sale of EMAP’s Irish stations has come through and Communicorp has gotten approval for the acquisition of Today FM and Donegal’s Highland Radio, but not Dublin’s FM104.

Radio primed for DAB era (SBP - 9 Sept 2007)
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007My article on DAB radio in this week’s Media & Marketing section of The Sunday Business Post.
Digital audio broadcast (DAB) radio may not be a viable medium for advertisers for another three years, but it has huge potential once audiences start to tune in.

There’s no details at present on what price he paid for the shares or when exactly they were bought.

Giving DAB a go
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007Having headed to my local Homebase outlet for a cheap landline phone I spotted a Pure One DAB radio on the shelf for €38, around half the RRP according to Pure’s website.
