RADIO NOVA, Dublin’s newest radio station, launched today at 1pm.

Greg Caughran was the first presenter in the radio station, which was awarded a licence to cater for the 25-50 year old market in Dublin and the commuter belt two years ago.

The first song played on the station was AC/DC’s ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’. As part of the launch, a Guns N’ Roses tribute band played on a barge in the Liffey and a ‘fleet of 50 Harley Davidsons‘ invaded the city centre.

The station bills itself as Dublin’s ‘classic rock’ station and broadcasts on 100.3 FM and on Nova.ie.
