This time of year most of country is talking about football.

The season is coming to an end here in Ireland, with the honours about to be dished out soon to the winners of the various competitions.  The legs are growing weary, and the end is in sight for another year for the players, managers, staff and fans.

Contrast that with over in England; where their football season is just beginning.  Most football fans in this country follow at team over there too, and the season is just up and running.  There’s anticipation in the air, dreams of your team winning something, hopes that the team performs to the best of their ability, expectations that players will do what is expected of them.  It is now time for them to deliver on the promises that will have been made by the owners and managers to them. 

It’s “Go-Time”.

It’s coming up to the end of pre-season here at UCB Ireland Radio.

The FM launch is a matter of a couple of weeks away, and the broadcasts area is buzzing.  Programmes are being recorded, edited, and prepared by the bucket load.  Our volunteers are working like crazy to give us a hand.  New shows are on the horizon, as well as a beefed up schedule. 

We’re trusting that God is preparing the ears of his people for the Gospel message – a message that gives hope, encouragement, and quite literally changes lives.  You’ll be hearing some of these stories over the coming weeks.

God has a plan.  He knows who’s going to be listening, and who will respond with obedience towards our Father.  He knows who will be inspired to support us.  He knows who is ready and waiting to lend us a further hand, and bring us to the next level again; during and after this temporary licence.  Is He speaking to you?   Are you to give your time, you skills and your finances to help bring God’s message to the people of Ireland and beyond, through us, his tool, UCB Ireland Radio.

Right now, we’re on Sky, UPC, Satellite, iPhone, Android (through the “Tune In Radio” app), as well  as DAB specifically in the South East.  We can be found pretty much everywhere, so tune in, and if you like what you hear, if you think what you hear can make a difference, let us know.

You can e-mail our Programme Director at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  ,or simply visit our facebook page.  The link is at the top of this page.  And who knows?  Maybe God is leading you to support us too...

Pray for us during this pre-season, you can follow us and listen in through the player at the top of the page, and do make sure you are with us come September 9^th when we get the FM season up and running.

God Bless,

Being involved in radio that is 100% irish christian radio, which is making an unashamed effort to bring the gospel, with no pretence, to masses is a privilege; and one which God has called us to at this time for an ultimate purpose that only he knows.

Jesus Christ is real.  Jesus Christ is alive.  Jesus Christ is Lord.

And through music and programming that is varied, entertaining, and gospel centred, we here at UCB Ireland Radio are endeavouring to make sure this is known through irish christian radio.

Truth

During these times where there is a never before mixture of anger, disillusionment and apathy towards God, much of it as a result of the mistakes of people (i.e. the Church), Jesus needs to be introduced everyone all over again.  The excitement, the passion, and most importantly the grace of Christ needs to be known, and what is on offer on UCB Ireland Radio, whether it be our presenters, our music, programming, it is dripping with this truth.

We won’t shy away from Jesus.  He deserves more than that.

We encourage you to listen and  let us know what you think on our Facebook page, which is linked, or by e-mailing our programme director Vincent at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

On digital, satellite, iPhone and Android, you can listen just about anywhere...and from September 9^th, for 10 weeks, Friday through Sunday, there will be our christian radio on FM!* 

Don’t take our word for it

Have a listen, and see for yourself if there’s anything different.  There’s our regular programming which will know from looking through this site, or from hopefully listening for yourself, but I need to tell you of my anticipation at the prospect of a glut of new programming, and a re-vamp of everything in time for our FM transmission in the Autumn.

Keep an eye here for more news on that as it comes.  You’ll know once we do.  Keep on listening to the station for the latest news too (click at the top of the page to listen); there’s plenty changing all the time, and the only way for you to keep in touch is to stay listening, and stay up-to-date on this website.

Thank you for reading, God Bless, and remember we’re all about Jesus, and we’re all about serving the nation of Ireland in His Name.
