TODAY IS TXFM’S last day on the air and people across Dublin are only devastated.

To mark its final day on the air, listeners and presenters alike have been paying tribute to the station on social media.

Cathal Funge kicked off the goodbyes on TXFM Breakfast this morning…

And from there, the tributes started pouring in

Acts like We Cut Corners, Jape, Le Galaxie and Darling all praised the station for giving a much-needed platform to Irish music.

Amazing to hear the passion for local music still pouring out of the speakers this morning from @CathalFunge & @Derek1052 on @TXFMDublin <3

Remember when Zack Morris and the gang saved The Max?

Can’t we do that for TXFM? :(

I can't be the only one desperately wishing for a movie style ending where it's saved at the 11th hour! #txfm https://t.co/ihj3sfWWC3

And for keeping them sane in the midst of Leaving Cert study and college work

Can't believe #txfm is finishing today. Got me through the Leaving Cert, College and those long journeys to work afterwards #willbemissed

Former Phantom FM employees like Today FM’s Alison Curtis and Nadine O’Regan waxed nostalgically about the station…

I got my start on Phantom FM many moons ago. It's where I fell in love with radio. Make sure to give @TXFMDublin a bit of love today ❤️

Thinking a lot tonight about being hired by Phantom FM in Oct 2006. Excited, freaked out, with PLANS. Didn't we have the best times. ❤️❤️❤️x

In the immortal words of Abba, thank you for the music.

To paraphrase...
Don't cry because it's over, turn it up, dance&smile because it happened.

Today, it's all about #TXFMGreatWaves pic.twitter.com/VwpDKL3cAM
