About Wired FM 99.9
Wired FM is a student and community radio station in Limerick, Ireland, broadcasting on 99.9FM across the city and streaming online. It is run by students and volunteers and offers a varied schedule of music and speech programmes.
The station is linked to Limerick's third-level institutions. Sources describe it as a partnership between Mary Immaculate College and TUS Midwest, formerly Limerick Institute of Technology. Programming is in English, and its shows cover alternative and independent music, science, technology and student life, as well as live events from local venues.
Listeners can expect a mix of specialist music shows and talk programmes made by amateur presenters, so the style changes from show to show. Detailed schedules are not reproduced here. The online stream is a 192 kbps MP3 feed. Since the station is built around volunteers and students, listeners should expect a more experimental and personal sound than on a commercial station, with a strong link to the local community and to Limerick's cultural scene. The station's own website gives the current programme schedule.
