Raidió Rí-Rá (Irish pronunciation: [ˈɾˠadʲiːoː ˈɾˠiː ˈɾˠaː]), is an Irish language chart music radio station broadcasting on the internet, DAB+ and, for approximately one month a year, on FM radio. The station was founded in 2008 and has offices on Harcourt Street in Dublin.[1][2] It broadcasts from its studio at Fumbally Exchange in The Liberties.[3]
History
[edit]Raidió Rí-Rá was created to mark Seachtain na Gaeilge in March 2008 under the working title of Raidió X.[4] Following a competition, its name was changed to Raidió Rí-Rá.[5] The station was created as part of a collaboration between Digital Audition Productions and Conradh na Gaeilge to create an Irish language chart music radio station for young people.[citation needed] It broadcasts 24 hours a day with music and the latest pop news in Irish.[citation needed]
During March each year, Raidió Rí-Rá broadcasts on FM in Dublin, Cork, Galway and, prior to 2011, Limerick, to mark Seachtain na Gaeilge.[6]
As of 2014, the station was broadcasting on DAB digital radio in Dublin and Waterford.[7] During March 2011, it also broadcast on DAB as part of the South-East DAB Trial.[6] It also launched a smartphone app.[8]
The station proposed to obtain sufficient funding and a full national license on FM radio from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.[citation needed] In the interim, the station proposed to be available on Saorview, Ireland's Digital terrestrial television service.[citation needed]
Following the launch of FáilteDAB in 2025, it became possible to listen to Raidió Rí-Rá on DAB+ throughout Dublin and the wider Leinster area.[9][10][11]
