It can also be picked up in parts of County Kerry, County Tipperary, County Waterford, County Wexford and County Mayo.[1]
The station broadcasts under a sound broadcasting contract from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, aimed at Ireland's four main commuter belts, hence its original name of "4FM".

The station is part of Bay Broadcasting Limited, which also has interests in Radio Nova and Sunshine 106.8.
