Zenith Classic Rock, the newest affiliate station to carry our weekly “Floydian Slip” broadcast, is looking for assistance to obtain a permanent license to broadcast over the air.

The station, our first affiliate in Ireland, has streamed on the Net continuously since 2007. The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) has also granted the station a handful of temporary licenses to broadcast over the air on the FM and AM bands, as well as via digital audio broadcasting (DAB) format.

The station’s current license allows it to broadcast over the air for 10 weekends. That license expires in another couple weeks.

Zenith’s hoping to receive a license to continue its over the air service permanently and full-time, and is asking listeners to petition the BAI on its behalf.

Please consider sending the BAI a politely-worded request to allow Zenith to continue to serve southeastern Ireland with its eclectic blend of classic rock. You can email the BAI at info@bai.ie. CC station director Andy Linton (andyl@totalbroadcast.net). Or snail mail them at: 2-5 Warrington Place, Dublin 2, Ireland UK.

“Floydian Slip” will begin airing on Zenith Classic Rock in Waterford, Ireland, on Wednesday, Feb. 23.

The station will carry the show each Wednesday at 10 p.m. and Sunday at 1 a.m. (UT).

Zenith Classic Rock, directed by Andy Linton, broadcasts at 103.8 FM, 1584 AM stereo, as well as via digital audio broadcasting (DAB) and streaming on the Net.

The station signed on in 2007 as an Internet-only station. It’s since been granted by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) three temporary licenses to broadcast over the air. Its current license expires at the end of next month, and the station has launched a campaign to petition the BAI for a permanent license. Lend your support by writing to the BAI. Contact information is on the BAI Web site.

Zenith Classic Rock becomes the 18th affiliate to join the show’s Random Precision Radio Network, created in Summer 2009 when we began syndicating our show from our Vermont studio.
