Due to the inability to implement an effective reindeer traffic plan Santa was forced to rely upon modern technology and his sat nav left us all down. So for those who were disappointed, Santa will return and travel across the Mile road (the Ring road) where all can see him.
Garrett Wyse spoke to Mayor Maxine Keoghan about this and other festivities yet to come this Christmas.
Although TCR FM was the first licensed radio station ever to broadcast from studios in Tramore, we were not Tramore’s first radio station. That accolade belongs to pirate station ABC Radio which began broadcasting in March 1982 from a caravan in Newtown. For our last day on air, two of ABC’s founders Clive Derek and Andy Ellis put together this tribute.
