Home > Atlantic 252


 

Atlantic 252 was a long wave radio station broadcasting to Great Britain and Ireland on 252KHz. It was launched in 1989 as a joint venture between RTE and Radio Luxembourg to play mainstream pop and rock music. Although its transmitter was in the Republic of Ireland, the long reach of its signal meant that it was often considered to be a UK national station. At the time, there were no national commercial broadcasters in the UK.

The station closed down in 2001, and was briefly replaced by a sports station, TeamTalk252 . This faced competition from BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT, and was itself closed in 2002. The frequency is now used by RTE Radio 1.
