As Radio Nova continues to grow, its shareholders are set to branch out with new station The Rock, which will air in Cork, Limerick and Galway during its six-week licence from October 5.

Speaking to Radio Today, Nova CEO Kevin Branigan shared his excitement over the new classic rock off-shoot.

"We aim to give something new and exciting to Cork, Limerick & Galway over
the six weeks of our licence", he said. "Expect to hear plenty of great music from bands such as Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, The Who, Queen, Aerosmith, David Bowie, Eric Clapton and much more – it will literally be the best music on the dial."
