Stations make final bids for south-west licence

CORK’S Red FM and Dublin’s SPIN went head-to-head in Limerick yesterday with final presentations to the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) for the licence to run a station to cater for the 15-34 age group in the South-West region.

The new station will get a BCI licence to broadcast in Limerick, Kerry, Clare, North Tipperary and south-west Laois.

The short list was whittled down to SPIN and Red FM from submissions forwarded to BCI for the licence.
