Speaking to RadioToday, David Baker said: “This is going to be a station that brings back so many memories, we will bring back all the specialist shows jazz, musicals, movies, classical and Irish.

“Some of our shows will be broadcast in Irish too alongside a mix of easy listening. It will deliver a very unique sound and I’m so happy its back.”
