Indeed it has been functioning as a feeder of staff for the mainstream stations as you proudly boast. "Modern rock" me arse.
Who are Phantom FM? and what are their policies?
Good stuff, we could do with an decent reliable indie station in the city. Good luck.
Whats the status with the full licence application?
horray.
the last poster was right, phantom is no more pirate that keith richards.

It's certainly true that Phantom FM have taken an extremely conservative approach to coming back on air following the BCI's raid earlier this year - Whereas most of the other pirates such as the dance ones like KISS FM and others playing for example 70's;80's; and 90's music (SUN 101.2 FM; JAM FM; and another unidentified station on 88.1FM) have come back on air Phantom stayed silent - The reason? Probably as they admit themselves they still want a licence to broadcast legally - But I believe that anybody who wants to; should be allowed to set up their own radio station; so long as they don't cause any interference - This should apply to TV as well.
That's nonsense, Paul, and you well know it. If anyone is allowed to set up their own station, the commercial groups will quickly dominate the airwaves even quicker than before. What you're basically proposing is full deregulation, rather than proper reform of the licence system.
It's also a recipe for engineering chaos...although there is certainly room for a few more stations on FM in Dublin (AM is a different matter - good potential there), it's not a great and undiscovered land...there are natural limits to how much you can squeeze in before everyone's signal quality suffers.
This decision, in particular, is extremely shortsighted. It removes yet another frequency from general use in Dublin. 97.3 has been used by numerous colleges and community groups for one-week licences in the past - with the ever-commercialised Phantom occupying the weekend slot, that's not going to be possible. The temporary stations have been driven up and down the band, after the loss of 106.8 and 103.8 over the past few years. The Commission should be allocating more stations for community/institutional use...not reinforcing the commercial domination of the Dublin airwaves. And I don't give two hoots if the music is more 'credible'. Ultimately it's the same story, but with guitars.
But it's OK, cause 'pirate' sounds, like, radical, and cool, right?
There is an indymedia ireland radio list.
= join it.
To use radio as a communicative/subversive/activist tool you don't need to be the owner/licensed user. you just need to find "space".
---- and keep it. And those nasty fascists who are trying of late to silence pirate stations throughout Europe can stop it right now!
and if anyone is within reception distance the third in the series of broadcasts "E.S.P.=elektro-sagrada-profana" will happen @ about 00h00 - 03h00 tonight/tomorrow morning. 91.4 FM BarCeloNa.
With a wide cross selection of vibrationary rates, clues for the wise and fumbling with the microphone. (We promise not to play Eddy Grant's electric avenue this week).
Daithi; With more and more people using automatic scanning, and/or digital radios you can fit an awful of stations onto the FM band. This digital tuners are very precise - For example on my Sony walkman radio you can tune it to every 0.05 MHz. You are right though about the AM band not being utilised - This has always been a bone of contention with me; there should be more people broadcasting on AM because you can transmit much further distances than FM. Finally I'll just repeat what I said in my original posting just in cause there was any confusion "But I believe that anybody who wants to; should be allowed to set up their own radio station; so long as they don't cause any interference - This should apply to TV as well."
phantom have to make to get back on air?
Can't wait to hear Pearl's show on a Sunday again! Yay!
