UPDATE: having written this post as St. Ita’s returned to Mixcoud they then announced they were closing the FM 89.5MHz on November 30th as the licencee (the HSE) was not renewing the licence.
Pirate.ie published a post to mark the occasion with an archive gem of a recording of the station in 1986 (which I recorded, seemingly) and a 2019 interview I did with station manager Tom Noctor.
The station continues online with a new era schedule. Hospital Radio via radio.ie/t
Original Post: Ireland’s longest broadcasting independent radio station Hospital Radio St. Ita’s is back on mixcloud after a 2 year gap.

Ita’s started back in 1988 before the legislation for independent radio was published but with the minister for communications from the same parish, Ita’s was not part of the big switch off in 1988 as they had permission to stay on air.
Ita’s uses UPstream to upload programmes direct from their stream to Mixcloud. UPstream is free for Community Radio in Ireland to use. Contact reception@radio.ie for more details.
