Midwest Radio is a local Irish radio station based in County Mayo, Ireland. Officially opened in 1989 (having operated previously as an unlicenced station), its current studios are located on Clare Street, Ballyhaunis. The latest JNLR/MRBI radio listenership survey shows that Midwest Radio are by far the most popular radio station in Connacht, with a market-share of 51.5%.
History
When Midwest Radio first began broadcasting in 1989 its studios were located on Abbey Street, Ballyhaunis, County Mayo. Its franchise area is county Mayo although it can be received in various parts of Connacht. Paul Claffey is the Managing Director of the company. Chris Carroll is the head of sales and Tommy Marren is the Station Manager. Its target audience is 35+. Over its twenty years on air the station's schedule hasn't changed dramatically with many of the original presenters still working for the company. The station celebrated its 20th year on air in 2009. To celebrate its 20th birthday the station released a compilation CD of its most requested songs. The radio station is podcasting many of its programmes and segments.
The Breeze (formerly Gold Radio, Vale FM and Midwest Radio) is a radio station which serves North Dorset, in the United Kingdom, and is owned and operated by Celador Radio and is part of The Breeze network of stations.
History
Launched on 25 June 1995 as Gold Radio then later became Vale FM when the station was acquired by TLRC.
The station, along with sister station Ivel FM was formed as Midwest Radio when the two stations were acquired from TLRC and merged to form one station.
In July 2008, Radio industry regulator Ofcom approved plans for the two stations to share 20 hours of output per day, saying the distance between stations is such that the relevance of regionalised programming is a sensible move for both, and represents a way of allowing smaller stations to operate more effectively without adverse effects for listeners. Despite this, the two separate licences still broadcast different breakfast shows between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. on weekdays.
In August 2010 the 2 stations finally merged to create a single Midwest station across south Somerset and north Dorset, broadcasting from studios in Yeovil and Shaftesbury.

Midwest Radio FAILS to air 11 O'Clock News
Normally throughout the night most of the regional stations (for example: Midwest, Clare FM & Galway Bay FM) all air the same national news program (which I presume is produced for all stations), however this time Midwest failed to play the news and cut straight to weather! I also observed that they went to the news later than expected so that could be one of the factors.
