Louth to a large regional service that could be heard across the northeast of Ireland. It also had various relay transmitters and opt-out services focusing on local audiences. One such service was based in the town of Kells, covering Co. Meath and south Co. Cavan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we bring you two recordings of Boyneside Radio Kells from early 1986. The first one above is an airchecked version of Tony Johnson\u2019s show made from about 1340 on Sunday 12<sup>th<\/sup> January. There are promos for the new service, which is aimed at Meath and south Cavan, and plenty of local advertisements. Monaghan\u2019s Sport Centre, Kells is given as an address and there is also a local phone number. The second recording below is also airchecked and begins just before 1700 on Monday 13<sup>th<\/sup> January. It features Eddie Caffrey signing off on his Afternoon Delight show from Drogheda, followed by news with \u00c1ine N\u00ed Ghuidhir and a local programme from Kells with Ian Scott. Both were recorded from 100.3 FM in mono. Boyneside Radio Kells also broadcast on 1323 kHz AM. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/pirate.ie\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/8007AI-B-192.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption>Aircheck from just before 1700. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"789\" src=\"https:\/\/pirate.ie\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/8007AI-1024x789.jpg\" alt=\"Boyneside Radio from Kells, Co.
