North Atlantic Radio was started by Tommy Cunningham in competition to Radio North. But after a time, the name was reverted back to the old name of Radio North. The card below states that the 1st birthday celebration took place on 2nd November 1990, suggesting a start date of around that time in 1989.

Some logs in the old dusty notebooks from that time include:
