It had its origins in low-power hobby stations set up by Locky Butler and evolved into Phoenix FM. Phoenix began on 25 watts but grew to a 250 watt transmitter before being ordered to close down by the Department of Communications in 1987. Within an hour of the order being delivered, the TX was moved to a site on Three Rock overlooking Dublin and CAU FM was born. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAU had a good signal all over Dublin, professional sound and slick jingle package. We\u2019re reliably informed that CAU stands for \u2018clutterfree and you\u2019 and certainly the station played a lot of uninterrupted music. This full-length recording from the spring of 1988 (unfortunately we don&#8217;t have a date but it was recorded before a frequency change on 26<sup>th<\/sup> March) includes jingles, ads and links from Locky Butler\u2019s show and gives a good flavour of the sharp on air sound. There&#8217;s also a promo for a holiday giveaway. CAU was sold to the religious station Hope FM in the summer of 1988. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to Locky Butler for additional background information.
