Hello SDLP Youth… How are you?

It was nice to get a link from the SDLP Youth web site.

I only got it because I linked to a video on YouTube where two Canadian radio comedians prank Sarah Palin – and the youngsters in the SDLP saw it (-and apparrently, that’s the kind of thing the SDLP Youth enjoy!).

i105-107

The new high-tech youth oriented radio station for the north-east of Ireland, iRadio’s “i105-107″ – sister station to the north-west’s i102-104, launches this evening.

It can be heard on 104.7FM and 105.0FM in Dublin (although we in Dublin aren’t actually the target market…) and on various frequencies between 105 and 107FM around the north-east and online on i105107.ie, where their countdown clock shows that there’s currently just under 2 hours to go (so it would appear they’re going live at 7.30pm). Correction: their web site went live at 7.30pm – the station launches at 8.30pm.

I wish them all the best of luck and I’m looking forward to hearing them finally take to the airwaves after what I know was many months of very hard work putting the station together.

I was involved in the ‘workshop’ section of their recruitment process myself and met a lot of really great people there. They should really shake up the market in the North-East!

[EDIT]: The live launch can be watched HERE!
