Sad news for music fans

This is so sad.

Dublin alternative radio station TXFM is to shut down before October 26th, 2016, according to a statement released by the Broadcasting Authority Of Ireland.

The station, which had just celebrated its second birthday will wind down this year, with six full-time staff being made redundant.

The BAI had said there were two declarations of interest for the licence, and the issue will be discussed at a meeting in April.

This is a real blow to Irish radio, as TXFM had added some much-needed musical diversity to the airwaves over the past two years.
