Radio Nova Legend Confirmed For Music Ireland ‘07

The Irish broadcast industry will be interested – and perhaps a little apprehensive! – to learn that former Radio Nova boss Chris Cary has been added to the line-up for Music Ireland ’07, which takes place in the Dublin R.D.S. from October 5 to 7.
Having previously plied his trade with the likes of Radio Caroline, Radio Northsea International and Radio Luxembourg, Cary pitched up in Ireland in 1981 and with his “clutter-free” Nova format became Dublin’s most listened to radio station for a staggering five years.
Overlooked when legal franchises were being handed out – “I just wasn’t prepared to bung”, he says archly – Carey will be participating in the ‘Future Of Radio’ debate with among others RTÉ 2XM head honcho Mark McCabe.
