WESTSIDE COMMUNITY RADIO (SLIGO)
97.5 MHz

========================================================

IRISH PIRATES A / Z


Westside Community Radio were heard in Sligo from 15th November 1986 until 1988. The station broadcast on 97.5MHz in stereo. They seemed to soon drop 'Community' and were then just known as 'Westside Radio 97.5 FM'. It is believed the station closed in the latter part of 1988 and so didn't quite make it as far as legislation date on 31st December.
