MONAGHAN (1989)
1116kHz -
100.0MHz - 102.0MHz
========================================================
| FM100 operated in the latter part of 1989, commencing during July. They were understood to have used the original studio and transmitting facilities of KITS FM which had previously closed on 30th December 1988 due to legislation outlawing the 'pirate' stations. FM100 were heard over a large area, intially on 100.0MHz in stereo but moved to 102.0MHz due to RTE tests and were also briefly noted on 1116kHz AM in late July. The actual closedown date of FM100 is not known, but they seemed to have been replaced by KIKX-FM, who were conducting test transmission early in November 1989. |
