Radio Nova is a radio station licensed by Coimisiún na Meán, based in Dublin, Ireland. It was awarded its broadcasting licence by the BAI in September 2008 and launched on 1 September 2010. It is the only Dublin radio station licensed to transmit to the extensive Dublin commuter belt, including Dublin and counties Wicklow, Kildare, Louth and Meath. NOVA broadcasts on 100.3 FM from Three Rock Mountain, Dublin, 100.5 from Saggart Hill, County Dublin, to serve County Kildare and 95.7 FM from Bray Head in North Wicklow, to cover County Wicklow. The station covers County Meath from its main Dublin transmitter (100.3 MHz).

Shareholding

The current parent company of Radio Nova is Bay Broadcasting. Bay Broadcasting shareholders include Kevin Branigan and Mike Ormonde. Bay Broadcasting also owns Ireland's Classic Hits Radio.

Former shareholders included Vienna Investments, Des Whelan and Pat McDonagh.

Programming

NOVA broadcasts what it describes as a diet of "guitar-based music". In November 2012, it received a derogation from Coimisiún na Meán to reduce its news content from 20% of total programming to 10%, on account of it being a special interest station. As a result, NOVA continues to broadcast hourly news bulletins between 6 am and 12 midnight, as well as music news segments at various times during the day.

Location

The station is based at Castleforbes House, Castleforbes Road, in the North Docklands area of Dublin.
