Northern
Star Radio was a latecomer to the radio scene, coming on the air for
the last year or so. Exact start up date is unknown at present, but
at the time of the start up, there were stories of no less than four
stations coming on in Monaghan. There were two similar names used for
four stations. KITS and KISS, Then Radio Star Country and Northern Star.
From the KISS FM studio window in Old Cross Square, you could look over
to the very low link antenna Northern Star used to feed their AM transmitter
on 1116. |

A
couple of photos from the studios of Northern Star Radio in Monaghan,
shot in mid 1988. Note the KISS MY ASS sticker on the wall, refering
to the competition across Old Cross Square, KISS FM. While the station
manager was talking with us, he declined the offer of a photo unfortunately. |

poor res copy of a Northern Star Radio card. The frequency of 116 am
is rather low though, but I suppose it is to compete with the other
station in Monaghan, Radio Star Country, whose sticker quoted their
channel as 279kHz!!!. There were many examples of the stations not having
an idea where they actually were broadcasting in the band. |
