Remember Atlantic 252? The story of the station that was the sound of the 90s

Sunday, January 23 2022


The commercial station ran from 1988 up until its last broadcast in 2002
from its transmission site at Clarkstown, County Meath, Ireland.

Broadcasts from the station could be heard as far away as Finland, Ibiza
and even Moscow.

At the peak of its popularity in 1993, the station had six million
listeners.

The longwave frequency meant it was picked up by a lot of drivers in
older cars without FM - but it quickly gained a reputation for playing
the same records a lot. Extreme's More Than Words and anything by Mike
and Mechanics were particular favourites.
