Having a look at this thread again a year later!
As regards radio listening habits, I regularly listen to a particular program on online station 8Radio.Com - it also runs on temporary license most years. This station has been on the go since 2013 and this particular program first started in January 2014. I am referring to The A to Z of Great Tracks, presented by Steve Conway. It is currently in its second run through the alphabet coming near to the end of the letter D. Steve plays an eclectic mix of songs covering the last 7 decades. It is broadcast on Wednesdays at 8pm for an hour, is repeated on Saturdays at 10am and is also available for 7 days as part of their On Demand facility.

EDIT: I have frequently dipped in and out of weekend oldies pirates around Dublin. They are interesting because the majority of the songs played are rarely heard on regular radio. The most frequent flyers at the moment are: Retro FM (usually only Sundays), ABC 80s, The 90s Network and Energy Power AM. All of them are on FM, with the exception of the last, which is primarily on Medium Wave. Incidentally, ABC 80s does a spot most Sundays from 6pm playing old recordings of old pirates (not always from the 1980s!), which is fascinating stuff for anoraks!
