We enjoy a 100% success rate for writing and negotiating Section 68 (1) license applications on behalf of our clients, a fact of which we are extremely proud of. This is as a result of both our own experiences and those of the team who work with us here at Event Radio. The management team were responsible for the launch of the country’s first licensed dedicated oldies station, Premier FM. In fact it was so successful we did it three times! The station also achieved the status of being the first licensed “Multi City” service covering Dublin, Cork, Galway & Limerick in 2006. Building on this success we have provided consultancy and logistical support to numerous groups over the last number of years.

Paul Shepherd

Like most people of his generation Paul Shepherd’s introduction to radio came across
the ether via Radio Luxembourg - The Mighty 208. It was only a matter of time before
the radio bug carried him to his first on air experience in 1978 with Capitol Radio
probably one of the earliest specialist stations. Having worked with a number of
stations throughout the 80’s he became involved with the National Association for
Community Broadcasting (NACB) and served as secretary to the organization. In 1991
was part of the group that launched Anna Livia FM on a temporary license to celebrate
Dublin as European City of Culture.

Following this was one of the “7” to found Dublin Public Service Radio who
successfully won the special interest license in 1992 leading to the launch of Anna
Livia on a permanent basis. In 2001 was a founding member of Premier Broadcasting
Ltd and was director of operations for the three temporary licences. Was also
instrumental with others in 2003 in the setting up of the Specialist Radio Association, a
lobby group looking for greater diversity on the nation’s airwaves.
