Who We Are Community Radio Youghal 104fm

Community Radio Youghal is an independent, non-profit community radio station.

We seek to stimulate, entertain and educate our audience; to reflect the diversity of the local and online community, and to provide a channel for individuals, groups, issues and music that may be overlooked or under-represented by other media.

The board, staff and volunteers of community Radio Youghal are committed to collaboration with each other and the local community.

Broadcasting to Youghal Town and the surrounding areas of East and West Waterford on 104fm, Community Radio Youghal went on air in October 1995.

It was one of eleven stations licensed by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland under the pilot scheme for community radio stations and in 2008 we were granted a ten year broadcast license.

Like all community radio stations, we are a not for profit organisation and rely heavily on the goodwill of the community and businesses in the area to provide us with funding and other resources.

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland Funding Scheme (Sound & Vision II) was established to provide funding in support of high quality programmes on Irish culture, heritage and experience, and programmes to improve adult literacy.

The Broadcasting Act, 2009 extended the scheme to offer funding towards programmes dealing with the themes of media literacy and global affairs. The Act also increased the percentage level of funding for the Scheme via the television licence fee to 7%.

This scheme has proved invaluable in enhancing our programming and allows us to make high quality documentaries and dramas.
