Despite the fact that it's throwback Thursday, today is all about the future for iRadio.
Because today is the day we put pen to paper on our licence to broadcast until 2030, following the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland's decision in June to award a ten year licence.
It means iRadio, which is Ireland's third biggest commercial radio franchise, can continue to entertain, inform and have plenty of fun with its 368,000 weekly listeners across Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, Longford, Leitrim, Donegal, Cavan, Monaghan, Kildare, Louth, Meath, Westmeath, Laois and Offaly.
CEO Mark Cunning said he is delighted to make everything official today.
"It's been a wild ride from our launch in 2008 to today, but today's a huge day,'' he said.
''Today we sign a new ten-year license which means tomorrow is the start of a brand new chapter for iRadio.
''I genuinely believe we are one of Ireland's most relevant, fun and engaging media brands. With our new ten-year license in our hands, we can continue to evolve the iRadio brand..it's time we have some fun."
iRadio Chairman Willie O'Reilly also reflected on today's events saying:
"Today's a wonderful day for staff and listeners at iRadio. Winning this license is a great vote of confidence in what we've done over the years.
''We're really excited now for the future."
