Early Cork series: Test broadcast by Radio City 2
Radio City studio in 1981 (courtesy DX Archive)
This recording is of a test broadcast by Radio City 2, which was linked to the early Cork pirate Radio City (1980-1982). The frequency is 88.8 FM, distinct from the main channel on 95.5, but the station’s AM frequency on 1512 kHz (199 metres) is also mentioned. The presenter is Pete Andrews (O’Neill) and sound quality is poor at first, due to distorted audio levels in studio. As nobody involved can remember Radio City 2, it is more likely that this was an engineering test than the beginnings of an offshoot station, distinct from the main service.
The airchecked recording is from an undated Saturday night but we estimate it to be from April or May 1981. Thanks to Lilian O’Donoghue for the donation.
