The Radio Authority (RA) has decided that Radio Limerick 95 FM is not fit to continue to hold its broadcasting licence. The RA believes that the station, run by Radio Limerick One, is complicit with the illegal terrestrial re-broadcasting of its satellite signal to Limerick, Ireland.
In 1997 the Independent Radio and Television Commission (IRTC) of Ireland informed the RA that the station was rebroadcasting a pirate signal on a terrestrial frequency. The station was unable to satisfy the Authority that it wasn’t involved in this activity and as a result the station’s licence will not be renewed when it expires at the end of the month.
Separately, the Authority has also fined Severn Sound in Gloucester & Cheltenham, Ram FM in Derby and GWR FM in Swindon £1000 each for signal over-deviation.
