NEAR 90fm first community station to go 24-7

As a result, many specialist music programmes, including ska, blues, traditional Irish, electonica, dance, rock and jazz, will now be accessible well into the early hours of the morning.

The service will be available via the FM airwaves on Dublin's Northside, and around the world on www.nearfm.ie

NEAR 90 FM is an independent, community-licensed station run primarily by dedicated volunteers. The station's ethos is to be democratic and non-profit.
