103FM County Sound

103FM County Sound

C103 is a radio station, based in County Cork, Ireland. It is operated by County Media Limited under a sound broadcasting contract with the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland. The station is owned by UTV Radio, a subsidiary of Belfast based UTV Media.

It is a dual-franchise with 96FM, also operated by UTV, and itself has two regions - with 8 hours a day of programming regionalised in West Cork. Frequencies in the 102-103MHz range are used, and the station is streamed online. The station was originally licenced for the north of County Cork (launched January 1990), but the franchise was subsequently expanded to cover the whole county. As a dual franchise, the station's sound broadcasting contract (and thus its broadcasting licence) is advertised together with that of 96FM and one company is required to operate the two stations, in a similar situation to that of Shannonside FM and Northern Sound Radio in the northwest of the country.

The station rebranded as C103 in 2008.
