A new digital music station dedicated to the hits of the 80s was launched overnight.
Classic Hits 80s began broadcasting from the early hours of this morning by well known Ireland's Classic Hits Radio. It will operate as a brand extension to the main Classic Hits Radio service, featuring music, news and lifestyle information, a late Christmas present to fans of the much loved 80s decade.
Speaking to Dublin Live about the station, CEO Kevin Branigan said: “Ireland’s Classic Hits Radio is a premium brand that broadcasts to 2.5M people across Ireland’s major urban areas. We’re always interested in expanding and trying new ideas and this is just the latest in our drive to grow our brand and position as one of the largest radio stations in the country.
