We’re launching our new Irish service on November 30th, 2005, with a full service and a brand new web site.
Check back to listen to our test transmissions and get ready for high-quality audio featuring the 80’s, 90’s and more! We strongly recommend that our listeners use the WINAMP (Vers5.1) player which is fully compatible with our aacPlus audio stream.
Classic Hits .FM plays the best music and the biggest hits from the 80’s, 90’s and more with some of Ireland’s best radio presenters.
Now Ireland or the world could live without another classic hits format radio but at least the tech boat is being pushed beyond WMA or Real Media. Strangely the site shares domains with podcast.ie are they planning to podcast this digital music, we shall try to find out… anyone got a mobile number for Sean Ashmore?
