PIRATES A / Z
Concord Community Radio began transmissions during late 1982 on 1332kHz / 220 metres, broadcasting to the North Dublin area on medium wave only. In 1983 they added FM on 98.3MHz and moved to 891kHz, and at some point had a name change to North Dublin Community Radio. FM was then changed to 100MHz and by 1986 NDCR had another move on medium wave to 1008kHz. Legislation caused the station to close on 30th December 1988. |
