Just heard of this station recently, cant get it on the radio as I dont live in Dublin but started to listen to it o the net - quality, finally a radio channel which plays good music constantly. Any of ye listen to it? What ye reckon?

It has only recently returned. It was about before with temp licences and possibly the odd stint as pirate. Used to listen to it constantly when I lived in Dublin in the good old days. Have it on in the car anytime I'm in it since you can pick it up in Drogheda. Certainly is a breath of fresh air when compared to the pap that gets played on all the other stations 90% of the time. IMO its lost some of its vitality since it got its full licence as it is required to have a certain amount of talk/news and they just put filler in for that.

Its a definite breath of fresh air alright but there is far too much talk during the day. Plays any 'quality' music but its generally indie/rock n' roll/alternative genre. There is a hard rock/metal and a stadium rock shows aswell though and probably others I've not come across.

It has a Dublin only licence, so much the same coverage as the likes of 98fm. Used to listen to it all the time when I lived in Dublin when it was a pirate years back, haven't really got into it since it's officially been broadcasting - out of range where I live unfortunately.

105.2 FM I think in or around that and they are streaming online , one of the other posters here may have a link failing that use www.google.ie and key in Phantom FM you should get to it that way.
