RLO is a community based radio station servicing the Midwest region of Ireland and can be heard in its hometown of Limerick along with Kerry, Cork, Waterford, Tipperary and Clare.The station aims itself at the 40+ age group and has succesfully captured and retained this audience since its inception in 1995 when it lost its licence and reformatted itself to cater for this otherwise ignored audience. RLO is committed to providing a generous mix of music and chat, 24 hours a day and places strong emphasis on creating a forum for Limerick based musicians to have their music heard locally, nationally and now globally via our new webstream service. Our music mix is in three categories International Easy Listening, Irish Easy Listening & Local Music.Our chat shows, of which we broadcast an estimated 25% of our daily output are strictly focused on local affairs and are aimed exclusively at our local based audience regardless of geographical location in the world. In the last 2 years RLO has reinvented itself since it was taken over by new management and crew. Our policy is to cater exclusively to the 40+ age group who are seeking to listen to a locally based service, presented by local people for local people and featuring a heavy emphasis on local singers and entertainers. We also aim to offer full access to local listeners to the airwaves and our LIVE phone in shows allow our listeners the freedom of the airwaves with due respect to all listeners and participants. Our station aims to respect all faith traditons but there is an emphasis on a predominantly Catholic audience and we do offer religious programming to cater to this audience.
