RADIO NOVA SOUTHSIDE
- COUNTY DUBLIN (1983)
684kHz - 792kHz - 96.3MHz - 98MHz
========================================================
Radio Nova Southside was heard in the latter part of 1983. A station list for November 1983 had it listed as 684kHz and 96.3MHz FM. By the time of the only recording in our collection below on 19th December 1983, it was still on 684kHz but announcing 98MHz. At some point it was also logged on 792kHz. Nothing much is known about the station which may have been based in Shankill, Co Dublin. The location could be a clue that it might have had some link from the former Sonic Independent Radio. The signal on 684kHz was fairly good, but due it being adjacent to the strong signals from BBC Radio 2 on 693kHz, suffered from splatter outside of its main service area. |

1983_12_18_sun_nova_southside_684am_1310-1505_johnpower-gh493.mp3 New Mar 2025 | John Power with 'Christmas Crack' on Sunday afternoon 18th December 1983. The on-hour news at 2pm and 3pm was being relayed from Radio Nova and featured Bernie Jameson, but then local news from the South of the city was read by Caroline. This recording from 684kHz was made near Blackpool and was a bit crackly, and suffered splatter from BBC Radio 2 on the adjacent 693kHz. Being a mid winter afternoon there was also foreign interference causing a heterodyne at the end of the recording. The station was also announcing as 98FM stereo at this time and seemed to have a few adverts. |
