FM104

FM104 feels less like a traditional TV channel and more like a radio station that wandered onto your screen. The feed leans heavily on music videos, chart countdowns, and presenter-led banter, with very little pre-produced programming. That's not a knock, the energy is loose and local in a way that bigger Irish channels can't quite replicate. You'll catch Dublin-specific call-ins, live acoustic sets from Irish bands, and the kind of weather chat you only get when someone's actually looking out the same window you are. The production is straightforward: a few cameras in a bright studio, lower-third graphics that nod to the morning show vibe, and a playlist that tilts current pop-rock. There's no news bulletins or drama series; it's essentially a visual companion to the radio brand. If your interest is General TV Ireland with a genuinely local pulse, not just RTÉ's polished uniformity, FM104 is worth having in rotation. The breakfast crew have genuine on-air chemistry, and the daytime video blocks are easy background noise. Not for cinephiles, but anyone who misses the old-school local TV feel.
