Wireless Group upbeat about growth prospects

Wireless Group — the newly named radio business recently spun out from UTV Media — is anticipating growth in Irish radio advertising spend this year and a strong ries in profitability.

Wireless was formed in the aftermath of ITV’s recent purchase of UTV Media’s television operations on the island of Ireland.

Its assets cover UTV’s former radio stations in Ireland and Britain and include FM104 and Q102 in Dublin and Cork’s C103 and 96FM.
