Fascinating to see the station through visits by the dedicated fans over the years. Sad to see it so run down. 1 video answered some research I was doing. 500,000 watts. Wow!

DCFM & Alone announce a new media partnership
ALONE, the charity that supports older people to age at home, are delighted to announce a new media partnership with Dublin City FM. This alliance will support the work of ALONE, as it aims to raise awareness of issues facing older people living in Ireland.
This new move will see ALONE’s work receive increased media presence, emphasising the issues concerning older people. ALONE provides services including Support Coordination, Befriending, Housing Support and campaigns on topics such as housing, poor services and more, which offer vital support to older people in Ireland. This new partnership will aim to improve awareness of this work and opportunities for public and recipient involvement.
Seán Moynihan, CEO of ALONE, commented, “We are delighted to begin this new partnership with Dublin City FM. It points to the prevalence of issues facing older people and highlights the importance of ALONE’s work as we fight to combat these. By partnering with us, Dublin City FM recognise these issues and I look forward to seeing how our work together can ultimately help older people.”
He continued, “This alliance will greatly help to communicate ALONE’s services and messages to the public, bringing such issues of homelessness, loneliness and lack of supports to the forefront of listeners’ awareness. This is of increasing importance as Ireland faces a rapidly growing older demographic.”
CEO of Dublin City FM, Mick Hanley, spoke on the new partnership, “Dublin City FM is excited to embark on this new partnership with ALONE. We greatly appreciate the work they have achieved and hope to support this work, and further the benefit to older people in Dublin. The issues that ALONE campaigns for are central to our society, deserving of attention and action. Together, Dublin City FM aims to be a part of this action.”
For those who have concerns about their own wellbeing, or the wellbeing of an older person in the community, ALONE can be contacted on (01) 679 1032. For more information about ALONE visit www.alone.ie
Podcast Services
From 2005-2012 I recorded, edited and sometimes voiced the RaboDirect Podcast Series.
Pioneering Podcasting in Ireland since 2004 I won a Netvisionary Award from the Irish Internet Association for Podcasting Services in 2006. I went on to win 2 more Podcasting awards with The Sodshow radio programme I edited & presented on Dublin City FM from 2011 to 2016.
January 2017 I started the Mental Wealth Radio Show on Dublin City FM. I firmly believe that Podcasting and Radio and a mix of both are perfect to get your message across.
From Podcasts to Radio Stations, Radio is still the best storytelling medium. Consider Radio (and yes that includes Podcasts) in your marketing plan.
