Radio Kilkenny to fight loss of licence on 3 fronts

THE DIRECTORS of a community radio station ordered to go off the air next year have launched a three-pronged campaign to retain their licence.

Radio Kilkenny has vowed to use legal force, media campaigns and people power to stay on the air, despite a Broadcast Commission decision to award the new franchise licence to another consortium.

More than 1,000 supporters of the 12-year-old station packed into a city hotel on Tuesday night.
