History
Radio broadcasting in Cork began in 1927 with
6CK , which operated primarily as a local relay for the Dublin-based
2RN , but also produced some of its own content.
RTÉ Cork Local Radio was established on 2 March 1974
[9] as an opt-out service which operated for a limited number of hours per week, relaying the national service (
RTÉ Radio 1 ) at other times. The service was popular but had its hands tied by the limited number of local hours it could output, before reverting the
Dublin feed.
[10]
In 1989, RTÉ Cork Local Radio was rebranded as "Cork 89FM."
[11] It became "RTÉ Radio Cork" in 1994,
[12] and was closed in 2000 due to low audience share.
[13]
Programmes
One of the most prominent broadcasts was the
soap opera Under the Goldie Fish . The title referred to the
gilded fish which acts as a
weather vane atop the
Church of St Anne, Shandon .
