LifeFM aims to shine a light

THE country’s first fully licensed Christian radio station was launched yesterday vowing to spread its message of hope over the airways.

Music-driven LifeFM, which is aimed at the lucrative youth market, will broadcast from studios in the Cork suburb of Togher across the city and suburbs 24-hours a day on 93.1fm.

But station manager, Brian Daly, said chart music that promotes alcohol, drugs, sex or violence is banned from its playlist.
