RT Digital Radio Station Granted Temporary FM Licence

RT Digital Radio Station Granted Temporary FM Licence 15 January 2013: RT Pulse to be the Soundtrack to Operation Transformation

RT Digital Radio's dedicated dance music station, RT Pulse, has been granted a temporary FM licence to coincide with the transmission of RT One Television's Operation Transformation.

RT Pulse, which for the limited period will become The Soundtrack to Your Operation Transformation , will broadcast in the Dublin region from today, 15 January 2012, until 27 February 2012.

The station will broadcast on 94.3fm; the frequency which was held up until recently by the popular seasonal station, Christmas FM.

RT Pulse Station Editor, Adam Fogarty, says: The temporary addition of FM to RT Pulse's existing platforms is very exciting. It's a great opportunity for us to extend our reach in the Dublin region and further showcase our quality programming. As a truly dedicated dance music service, RT Pulse aims to be representative of what is happening right now in electronic music; from commercial to specialist. I think that listeners will be pleasantly surprised by the eclectic nature of the programmes we broadcast.

I feel our association with Operation Transformation during this time will be of great benefit to the listener. Those following the programme are obviously keen on getting fit and healthy and with our high-energy dance music programming, RT Pulse is the perfect soundtrack to anybody's Operation Transformation. We're delighted to be involved with the programme.

The station, which recently launched a new schedule, broadcasts a blend of commercial dance music, homegrown presenter-led specialist music and magazine programmes and syndicated shows from the cr me de la cr me of heavyweight international DJs and dance music labels such as Judge Jules, Paul Oakenfold, Hed Kandi and Ministry of Sound.

On Wednesday 16 January at 9pm, RT Pulse will broadcast Op Tran Extra. Presented by Evelyn O'Rourke, the hour long magazine-style programme will broadcast immediately after Operation Transformation on RT One Television and will feature behind-the-scenes insights and extras from Operation Transformation leaders Dr. Eva Orsmond, Karl Henry and Dr. Eddie Murphy. The three experts will also be taking listeners' questions via email: optranexperts@gmail.com. Operation Transformation has spurred a huge number of people to set up fitness groups within their own communities and, from these, Op Tran Extra will feature a Group of the Week'.

RT Pulse is one of a suite of digital radio services from RT available on Digital Radio (where available), on Saorview Channel 205, UPC channel 943 and via the RT Radio Player. RT Pulse will continue to broadcast its regular schedule on these platforms after the cessation of the temporary FM licence.
