Radio Caroline now across Northern Ireland


 

We have extended our broadcasting reach with the launch of the Album Channel and Caroline Flashback on DAB across Northern Ireland. This significant milestone, achieved in collaboration with Ulster MUX, marks a new era for radio listeners in the region.
?
Initially, the project aimed to serve Newry, but thanks to the ambitious efforts by Ulster MUX, the coverage has expanded significantly. On 15 July, the team successfully launched the service across a much broader territory.
?
Ulster MUX Ltd has a rich history in Irish radio, dating back to the 1980s, including periods of unlicensed broadcasting. Their expertise and dedication were crucial in the installation of ten transmitters at various strategic sites, ensuring comprehensive coverage.?
?
This operation sets a new record, as the largest number of transmitters previously installed by other SS DAB operators was four.
?
“We are thrilled to bring the Radio Caroline Album Channel and Caroline Flashback to a wider audience in Northern Ireland,” said station manager Peter Moore. “For Radio Caroline, this expansion is particularly meaningful because it allows the us to broadcast to Greenore, the historic site where our two iconic radio ships Mi Amigo and Fredericia were converted in secrecy over 60 years ago.
?
“This port, which was owned by the father of Radio Caroline's founder Ronan O'Rahilly, holds a special place in the station's colourful past. So the expansion not only strengthens our presence but also reconnects us with a significant part of our history.”
