Just went out to the car to do a quick scan from the Sandyford area.
Sun 80s, Freedom, Future, Ministry, Hot are off.
Didn't check for Vibe or any others along the FM band.

Only Phantom and Nova appear to be broadcasting.

RTE : Who told you ComReg were on the prowl?

I've heard only Phantom, Premier and Nova - aren't these guys all on Three Rock (or in that direction?).

Suppose we'll find out soon enough.
I've still got Nova playing in the background in work at the mo.

Jees, there are really making a day out of it. It's incredible. You wouldn't really know who has been hit though. It could be a case of the word spreading and transmitters being powered off before they are confiscated. Or indeed it could be 1983 all over again, lets hope it's the lesser of two evils.
