| London Irish Community Radio was a seven day station that could be heard in London between March and May 1988. The station was set up by Jimmy Smith, the owner of Dublin's country music station Treble T R Radio in order to serve the large Irish community in London. The station operated in stereo on 89.5MHz, but was raided in early May 1988 after only a few weeks of broadcasting. |
