Adverts following peak-time news bulletins were sold via UBC Media and reached more than eighty radio stations.
IRN operates two audio channels on the Eutelsat 9B satellite: IRN1 transmits the hourly news bulletins and live sports reports.
Many community, student and hospital radio stations around the UK take the hourly bulletin service.
In March 2007, BSkyB and Chrysalis Radio announced a new joint partnership to launch a dedicated Sky News Radio station on the proposed bid by Channel 4's 4 Digital Group for the second UK DAB multiplex.
A large amount of programming was planned to be shared with the national DAB service.
