Athlone Community Radio

Athlone Community Radio was formed in 2006 as a steering group comprised of individuals from a number of community organisations, who saw that a community radio station would serve the interests of their clients and the general public of Athlone and its environs.

The overall aim is to establish a Community radio station for the benefit of the community of Athlone, in line with the community ethos of the BCI licence and the AMARC charter. Current objectives include finalising the required funding to establish the studio, training of an adequate number of volunteers and staff, successfully completing the temporary broadcast phase, securing a ten year licence, establishing the station as a going concern, and developing the station to the highest professional standards in order to best serve the broad community of Athlone.
