Our apologies to all our podcast followers – the last two months have been a bit fraught with problems. The computer which records the podcasts has been giving some serious problems and many shows were as a result not recorded. We are slowly working backwards from last weekend uploading the shows that are available, so if you are looking for a particular show, do check the podcast page.
As of today, programmes from the weekend of January 14/15 have been uploaded and are now available.
We are delighted to be bringing you a great line up of programmes specially for Christmas Day:
11am – Local History & culture “Coffa House” programme
12midday – Christmas Ghael Taca
1pm – A Story to Tell
2pm – A Two Hour Bumper Christmas Special Local History & Culture Programme
4pm – A Christmas Carol (by Charles Dickens adapted for Cork FM)
5pm – Interview with Catherine Costigan, National Kickboxing Champion
6pm – Jazz Voices
7pm – The Arts Show Christmas Special
8pm – Cork Classics
9pm – Happy Christmas Talk! 3hrs of Ed & Donal being Happy Talkers
We recently ran into some problems with our podcast server and as a result the podcasts were down for a few days. We have sourced a new server and are in the process of uploading all the podcasts to the new server. Please be patient as this is a long job and will not be complete for a number of days yet. Do check back soon and enjoy.
We are very pleased to be able to announce enhanced podcast pages for many of our programs. Checkout the Podcast link in the menu above or click here and have a look at all the programmes with podcasts available and do check back regularly as we will be updating this weekly with new podcasts a=s they become available as well as with new shows.
Great news to all fans of Cork FM Community Radio – we are back in air this coming Saturday and we will be on air every weekend for the next year.
Yes, we have changed our name, to more accurately describe our position in the community – that is, to serve the communities of Cork City. But with the change of name does not come a change of ethos or dedication to the communities we serve. We will be giving you the same local content that we gave you in our previous licence period and which the commercial radio stations cannot afford to give.
Remember to check back here regularly for updates as we approach our switch on date of May 21st and if you would like to donate to help us get on air, please click the “DONATE” button on our front page.
Good news for all supporters of Cork FM – our application for a 100 day licence is now with the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and we hope to hear with a few weeks that the new licence is to be granted. We are planning to be back on air, broadcasting from new premises in Douglas Village Shopping Centre, kindly sponsored by the centre, at the end of March or the beginning of April.
Watch this space for more details.
UPDATE March 2011 – our application is still being considered by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and is due for assessment soon. As a result we have had to delay going back on air. Once we get a decision from the BAI we will be able to publish our recommencement date.

The “Bring Back Cork FM” movement is gaining speed. We are holding a grand Pub Quiz on the 19th November at 8pm at the Silver Key Bar in Ballinlough.
Remember, Cork FM is a community project. It is a not for profit organisation, run entirely by volunteers who give up their valuable time to bring this valuable project to air. It is very expensive to put the station on air, and to stay on air. To achieve our target of returning to the airwaves in March 2011 we need to raise at least another €5,000 so your help is badly needed.
We look forward to seeing you on November 19th.

Cork boast a number of Festivals and not the least of them is the Cork Choral Festival. Cian Corbett recently interviewed Pat Sheehan of St Aloyicious School in Carrigtohill, whose choir is a regular competitor in the Festival.
