Connemara Community Radio is a community-based and run radio station broadcasting for 10 hours per day throughout the north-west Connemara region of Ireland.
We legally began broadcasting on the 1st of July 1995. The station dates back to 1988 when we started broadcasting as a pirate community radio station for a short time (6 weeks).
We broadcast six hours of live radio between 11.00 AM – 12.00 PM and 4.00 PM – 9.00 PM and 4 hours of the previous evenings programme from 12.00 AM – 4.00 PM.
It’s one of the smallest radio stations operating in Ireland with a possible audience within a franchise area of 12,500 people, with up to 30,000 people during the summer. The management and operation of the station is undertaken on a voluntary basis assisted by a small core staff.
