Connemara Community Radio is a community-based radio station broadcasting for 10 hours per day throughout the north-west Connemara region of Ireland.

It's the smallest radio station operating in Ireland with a possible audience within a franchise area of 13,000 people.[citation needed] The station has studios located in Letterfrack and Inisboffin.

The management and operation of the station is undertaken on a voluntary basis assisted by a small core staff. Involved with the station are a core of 90 volunteers who contribute each week to the station as presenters, technicians, correspondents etc. It also has a Walkers Group who have a fund-raising walk each year.

The Station broadcasts on 87.8 and 106.1 MHz from two 300 watt transmitters, due to the mountainous terrain of the Connemara area.[citation needed]


The Station broadcasts six hours of live radio between 11.00 AM – 12.00 PM and 4.00 PM – 9.00 PM and 4 hours of the previous evenings program from 12.00 AM – 4.00 PM.
