RTÉ changing Radio 1 FM frequency to improve reception in Belfast:
(March 5th, 2008)

Irish public broadcaster RTÉ is to change one of 
its Radio 1 FM frequencies in order to improve 
reception in the greater Belfast area and parts 
of the border region. It follows criticism from 
some Northern listeners who have been tuning into 
the mediumwave transmitter on 567 kHz, which is 
due to be switched off in three weeks? time.

FM reception of RTÉ Radio 1 is currently poor in 
the Belfast region. From 14 March, Radio 1 will 
swap frequencies with Lyric FM and will be 
broadcast on 87.8FM from the Clermont Cairn 
transmitter beside the border near Dundalk, Co 
Louth.  Listeners to RTÉ Radio 1 in the Belfast 
region, counties Armagh and Down, and 
particularly Louth and Monaghan, should retune 
from 95.2FM to the new frequency.

RTÉ says the move will enable more listeners in 
the North East to receive its main speech 
service. RTÉ will shortly apply for a new 
frequency for the music channel Lyric FM. As an 
interim measure, from 14 March Lyric FM will be 
available on 95.2FM (currently used by Radio 1).
