Bryan Dobson moves from TV back to radio
RTE Newscaster Bryan Dobson is to move from flagship TV news (Six One) to flagship radio news (Morning Ireland).
Dobson who began his broadcasting career with Radio Nova in the 1980s started presenting the RTÉ Six One news in 1996.
He is no stranger to radio and morning Ireland as a twitter search will show. He has presented stints on Morning Ireland in August each year.
@donaloflynn Bryan Dobson. He's been presenting Morning Ireland this week

It's a reminder there's still a few weeks of summer left when you hear Bryan Dobson on Morning Ireland. And he's excellent.

Pop Up Radio
will be popping up everywhere from September 2017
hankering for HF
If you miss the sounds of those old giants of shortwave like VOA, Radio Moscow et al, here is a site to pump your cans with sounds of powerful stations that traded their international diplomacy in a currency that was measured in kilowatts by the hundred.
The Shortwave Archive is gathering old recordings of large and small, regular and wonderful radio stations of the 1.6 to 30MHz bands. Enjoy.
a short RTE wave for All Ireland Finals on Shortwave
There has been no announcement from RTE about where to hear the All Ireland hurling and football finals this year.
since the mid 1990s RTE has rented transmitter space to broadcast our national games across the continent of Africa.
Last year’s All Ireland hurling final was broadcast from 1300-1700 on 15320KHz with an impressive 250 kW from South Africa.
update: 03/09/2017 game time. No sign of RTE on 31m or 19m markers are to last years locations.
