A high power (initially 60 kW) station was established in Athlone, in 1932, to coincide with the staging of the Eucharistic Congress.

The new broadcasting authority established in 1960 was primarily concerned with the introduction of television, but they also recognised that the radio service had long outgrown the cramped conditions in the GPO and that a new home was needed.

An Irish language channel, Raidió na Gaeltachta, began broadcasting on 2 April 1972; RnaG has grown to become an influential news, music and spoken word service.

Broadcasting on RTÉ Radio 1 provides comprehensive coverage of news, current affairs, music, drama and variety features, agriculture, education, religion and sport, mostly in English but also some Irish.

The broadcaster launched nine digital-only channels in May 2007, as part of a trial to assess if demand existed for new radio services.

Transmitters provided DAB coverage focused on three cities: Dublin, Limerick and Cork and parts of the Northeast.
