Our radio station in Ireland Midlands 103 has completed its acquisition of South East Radio, based in Wexford.
Midlands 103 is a full service local station offering speech and music programming across a broad schedule.
The station has a weekly audience of 106,000 adults across counties Laois, Offaly, and Westmeath, while South East Radio is one of Ireland’s most decorated and successful broadcasting services.
Both stations will continue to broadcast independently of each other, preserving their local identities.
Their combined weekly listenership is 178,000 adults across Leinster.
Managing Director Will Faulkner says the expansion will strengthen both companies, provide opportunities for staff and enhance experiences for both audiences and commercial partners alike.
He also paid tribute to outgoing owners, the Buttle family, as they begin a new chapter.
The deal, originally announced in March, was subject to standard closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
