ICRfm celebrates 10th anniversary

INISHOWEN Community
Radio reaches a major milestone this month when it
marks its 10th anniversary. The community radio
station went on air for the first time on November
13, 2000 and has been broadcasting to the local area
ever since.
Over the years, ICRfm has developed a wide and
varied programming schedule, featuring an eclectic
mix of music and talk shows, current affairs and
documentaries. Jazz, alternative rock, indie music,
classical and Irish traditional are just some of the
musical genres you’ll hear on the station.
ICRfm's remit is to educate, inform and entertain
and, from an initial output of just eight hours per
day, the station now broadcasts 92 hours each week.
ICRfm has won several awards for its programmes and
provides training and broadcasting opportunities for
all sectors of society. |
"ICRfm would like to
thank all the advertisers and sponsors who have
supported the station during the last ten years.
Likewise, the station would like to thank all of the
local media for their support down the years and
hopes that this will continue for years to come,"
said a spokesperson.
To celebrate its significant birthday, ICRfm is
inviting all past and present volunteers and board
members, friends, listeners and contributors to the
station, local businesses who have advertised over
