When I heard there was a radio station in Belfast called Blast FM I did think it was a tongue in cheek. When I heard their antenna was on top on the most bombed hotel in Europe (The Europa) then I knew it was tongue in cheek.
Broadcasting to the Students and Youth market in Belfast Blast is on 106.4FM and in a volunteer based community station.
From their about page
Blast 106 is licensed by the national regulator (Ofcom) to broadcast across Greater Belfast on 106.4FM – an area of 80km2.
Although you may not realise it from the quality of our broadcasting, Blast 106 is volunteer-led and provides a variety of opportunities for people to get involved in the operation of the station. Whether that is behind the mic or behind the scenes – every volunteer contributes to the life of our station and the life of our community. We provide a structured and professional Induction & Training Programme for all volunteers and a Mentor is appointed for those new volunteers who wish to broadcast. We also provide schools placements in March and November each year.
The station had a licence breach case in 2013 which ended up being sorted in the courts in Belfast with the station getting its licence extended.

The best music is on the fringes of Irish Radio, if what is popular is the tall head, this is where pop radio is commercial and narrow minded in playlist size. Then there is a long tail that is full of exciting non popular (yes this is a good thing) great radio. And this show on Near FM is worthy of more attention while staying non pop non stop.
