In the early 1970s Radio Dublin used the tag line &#8216;the Big D&#8217;, which can be heard in these jingles. The set may be originally from WDEE, a US country music station on air around this time as that callsign can be heard in some of the cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These jingles pre-date the pirate named Big D, which was set up after a split in Radio Dublin in 1978 and went on to be a successful station in its own right. Many thanks to Kieran Murray for his donation of this valuable recording, which was taken from a 5-inch reel tape machine.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our ongoing series about the pirate pioneers of the late 1960s and early 1970s, here&#8217;s a real piece of radio gold: a jingle package used in the early days of Radio Dublin.
