About RTÉ Gold
Listen to the online radio of RTÉ Gold live, which officially launced in 2008 together with RTÉ’s other only digitally distributed sister stations, in the ownership of Raidió Teilifís Éireann which is Ireland’s National Public Service Broadcaster.
RTÉ Gold is the greatest hits responsible station in RTÉ’s radio fleet, however it gives a little more than the general Greatest Hits radios, because its time-span is not restricted to the common greatest hits radio’s 70s and 80s selection, but goes further back and forward in time. This way the radio streches its musical perspective to 6 decades, so 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and even the 00s are broadcasted. At first glance it could be strange, that we speak about the greatest hits of the 90s and 00s, but as time passes, the best songs of these decades’ have to be marked as "greatest hits" for the next generations. Whether the broadcaster will be right or not in this endeavor, we don’t know yet, but it is sure that the station undertakes this mission enthusiastically, and in the future we can decide if it was successful or not.
The radio gilds the weekday mornings from Monday to Thursday with 6 decades’ best pop music under the careful supervison of Will Leahy from 7am to 10am in "Gold Breakfast with Will Leahy", and on Friday with the "Gold Breakfast with Al Dunne", which is followed by the special selection of Rick Oshea from 10am to 13pm on weekdays.
RTÉ Gold slogan: “The Greatest Hits of All Time”

RTE digital radio services to continue online
RTÉ is ending transmissions on DAB digital radio at the end of March, but its DAB-only services will now continue online. Previously, the broadcaster announced it would end DAB transmissions and close RTÉ Gold, RTÉ 2XM, RTÉ Radio 1 Extra, RTÉ Pulse, and RTÉjr Radio. But in a U-turn, these stations will survive due to feedback from listeners. RTÉ says its decision to cease DAB transmission was driven by three main factors – the fact that DAB was the least utilised platform in Ireland; that RTÉ is the only Irish broadcaster on the DAB system, and cost avoidance...More >>radiotoday.ie - 02.03.2021
