    Bonus Episode: What Happened After BLB?
    2025/05/01

    Despite a nearly ten year on-air campaign in the 1980's to establish the model for community radio in Bray, County Wicklow and the securing of a legal licence in 1989 by the North Wicklow Community Radio Co-op, we do not have a station such as BLB transmitting community radio in County Wicklow today.

    In this episode Mark Quinn speaks with John Murphy, Lawrie Hallett and at length, with Pat Hannon to find out what happened after the radio licenses were issued and about the wider impact of BLB and today's radio landscape.

    Episode 6. Closing The Fader on BLB
    2025/04/03

    There were tears in the studio at the end of December 1988 when the faders were finally closed on the BLB mixing desk and the transmitter was silenced for good. In this final episode of the series, Mark Quinn muses over the lasting legacy of the radio station. In its nearly ten year life, what did it achieve, what was its legacy and what lasting impression did it make on those who were involved?

    Episode 5. Authentic Lifeline
    2025/03/27

    In this episode Mark Quinn explores when BLB's listeners needed the local community radio station most, it answered the call. At a time when there was no internet or mobile phone services, BLB became the communication channel as Bray suffered two severe weather events in the 1980's. The worst was Hurricane Charley in August 1986 when the River Dargle overflowed, flooding some houses up to a depth of 1.5 metres and forcing 1000 people from their homes. Providing an all night broadcast with up to the minute information for the flood stricken areas of the town and relaying Emergency Services messages, Bray Local Broadcasting was a lifeline.
