The "Ideas for Station Names" thread

[Nick]

Greetings Anoraks...

I'd like to enlist your help, as I'm seeking a fresh new name for a radio station.

The format is Chart/RNB/Commercial Dance and a bit of rock, all targetted mainly at a 15-25 audience.

We have good coverage, a great studio and excellent audio quality, all we're missing is a name, and we're looking for something hot, fresh and catchy - but above all ORIGINAL!!.

I love the Red FM name, and Spin - pity they've been used!!!

All suggestions welcome!!

Cheers...

Nick :-)

How about

No Name FM

Or go the Challenge TV route and call yourself ?FM

Maybe Frank Kennedy FM to save yourself before the inevatible buyout.

Thanks RSJ!!

That's quite an effort!!

Love the suggestions - We'll take some time considering them!

We'd already used Hit Radio, when we were on air last year with a crappy signal, and no format!!
We'd considered Galaxy, but no-one liked it, also Cube, which even less people liked!

We're not in Dublin, so No Name's warning about FK is unlikely!!

Cheers Folks!

Nick
(Still Undecided Name) FM. :-)

[Nick]

There is an RSL within our TSA which is called Xtreme FM, and NRG is too close to Energy 106, also WE are currently known as Zee 100!!!! (Please ignore the crap incarnations of past, if you have heard these - the new station is 200% Fresh!!)

Thanks again for all those suggestions - That lot must have to took a while!!

[Brian O'D]

How about Radio Nova or Sunshine Radio. I don't think they've been used here, for a while anyway!

[Pierce]

What about rhythm fm sounds good

[Megawatts]

Why not try Craigavon Mix Radio:- CMR -FM

[Nick]

Hi Miles...

Not Just Craigavon though...

Nick

[Megawatts]

Pass them, and then do what u want. :mad:

[Francis Dunne]

what about BREEZE FM

[Fmfreddie]

I like the Extreme name , I think there is one in canada somewhere.


BTw - how about the Max fm suggestion , you could use it to strapline some of the music you are going to programme , like -

Max RNB @ night....on Max Fm

Max Dance all weekend long......@ Max Fm

Max Rock @ Max Fm.


Only suggestions tho' ...........best of luck.

Yeah Nick when is station going to hit the airwaves of Mid-Ulster now that Kiss FM is gone from this part of the country...we have waited a few years now for your radio station HitRadio/Zee100FM to come on air ... When are you goin to get your website updated come on man get your fingure out and do something... What freq are you going to use my guess is 104.6/7fm

[Nick]

Hi North-West Listener...

We are working on getting a decent signal on the air, and only this evening I was organising transmitters etc...

This is a complete turnaround, with NOTHING like Zee 100, or Hit Radio.

I have had exams and other things to worry about over the past year, all of this ends next week.

My finger is well and truly out.

We are going on the air very soon, all other details are secret at the moment to avoid constant hassle from people.

Watch this space - Radiowaves Bulletin Board will be the first to know when the new station hits the airwaves.

[NoelRock]

Well done on delving down and finding this Anorak :) I had completely forgotten about it until now...

[chump]

Pulse fm - where the beat goes on

[Liamo]

"a fresh new name for a radio station"

how 'bout Fresh.....Fresh 103 in Limerick got a great response while it was up and running.....

[Funkly_Chicken]

Bop or Buzz FM!!

[NoelRock]

Guys, I reckon this was all talk and no action :)

This message was posted in June initially - and we've heard nothing (?) since, so I don't think there's any point in posting names... *Sigh*
