- Inishowen Community Radio
Inishowen Community Radio (ICR FM) is a local radio station broadcasting on the Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland. The station is one of three in the county and is the only permanent community station in the north west of the Republic.
The station was initially granted a five year licence which was renewed in September 2007 by the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland for an additional ten years. ICR is based in Carndonagh and currently employs four full time staff as well as six part time in addition to unpaid volunteers. The station broadcasts for seven days a week and under the terms of its licence consists of 50% music and 50% talk, and like most community and local stations covers a wide range of music including dance, traditional and classical along with its own news team.
ICR's main competitor is the local commercial station Highland Radio, which is based in Letterkenny and broadcasts throughout the north of the County.
