Clare FM - Clare FM NEWS - Clare FM LIVE (2024)

Listen to the online radio of Clare FM live, which began its broadcast in 1989 as a local commercial radio station in County Clare. It operates from its studios in Ennis and is owned by Clare Community Radio Holdings. Clare FM is a multiple award-winning radio station. In 2018, its documentary programme "Top of the World" received a Bronze Award, and in 2019, "The Rescue" won the Gold Award at the New York Festivals International Radio Awards. The primary target audience for Clare FM's entertainment is the adult age group. As a result, the radio's playlist offers a colourful selection of easy-listening music spanning the last 40 years, including melodious pop music, often referred to as "oldies", country, and soft rock. In smaller amounts, the schedule also includes present pop tunes with tuneful and lyrical elements. The radio station features talk programmes, including the previously mentioned documentaries, and other speech-related programmes that engage in meaningful discussions instead of the aimless chit-chats commonly found on youth-oriented radios. Despite the inclusion of serious investigative reports, the radio station is not lacking in cheerfulness. Fun and good humour are essential elements of the station's morning show, "The Colum McGrath Breakfast Show", which airs on weekdays from 6am to 9am.
