Cork Opera House agrees studio deal with radio stations

Newstalk and Today FM have built a new hi-tech radio studio in Cork Opera House as part of a joint venture which will see both stations broadcasting more shows live from Cork.

The two Dublin-based national independent radio stations, both owned by Denis O’Brien’s Communicorp company, have been in talks with Cork Opera House management for several months about the project.

The new studio replaces Newstalk’s existing studio on Opera Lane, which will revert to commercial use.
