TXFM (formerly Phantom 105.2) was a Dublin based radio station, founded in 1997 as a pirate radio station.[1] TXFM broadcast under a contract awarded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI). The station ceased broadcasting on 26 October 2016.[2]
TXFM played mostly alternative rock with an emphasis on local artists, as well as alternative dance and hip-hop from local and international acts.[3] Apart from general programming TXFM also has run many specialist shows dedicated to a specific genre of rock or to premiering new Irish and international acts.
Following the re-advertisement of the 'Alternative Rock' radio licence by the BAI in December 2015,[4] no formal applications had been made by the closing date,[5] and on 30 March 2016 it was announced that the station was to cease broadcasting by October of that year.
