[7][8] Radio broadcasting in Cork began in 1927 with 6CK, which operated primarily as a local relay for the Dublin-based 2RN, but also produced some of its own content.
RTÉ Cork Local Radio was established on 2 March 1974[9] as an opt-out service which operated for a limited number of hours per week, relaying the national service (RTÉ Radio 1) at other times.
The service was popular but had its hands tied by the limited number of local hours it could output, before reverting the Dublin feed.
"[11] It became "RTÉ Radio Cork" in 1994,[12] and was closed in 2000 due to low audience share.
The title referred to the gilded fish which acts as a weather vane atop the Church of St Anne, Shandon.
