CBC, the Cork Broadcasting Company broadcast to the Cork area on 233m MW during the late 1970's. Patrick in Cork gives us the dates of February 1978 for a sign on, and September 1979 for closedown. There is a good press report in Issue 4 of Sounds Alternative about both CBC and CCR (as it was known then, before becoming CCLR), which mentions late January as the start date.

Interestingly the FRC Ireland magazine Sounds Alternative still listed CBC on the air in their June 1980 edition!! In the days before the web, mobile phones and all, communication was very much more limited. Often news reached publications late, and as a result listings could be many months out of date!!!

CBC was on the air in July 1979 when Dave Small visited Cork, and luckily he managed to make a few recordings.

230m is close to 1304khz, 1305 after November 1978. It is not known what CBC used frequency wise, though by 1979 during Dave Small's visit, the station announced 230m, but were really on 1394kHz, 215m.

CBC was not heard by the dx archive team in the UK, but who knows what signals were heard in SW England and Wales.
