It’s a key part of our schedule that is attracting a growing audience right across the board from a demographic point of view. They’re passionate about good beer and we’re passionate about great music – it’s the perfect fit!
Kathryn Doyle Events & Marketing The Porterhouse said, “We are really excited about partnering with Radio NOVA on ‘Nothing but the 80’s’. We chose Radio NOVA as it has grown tremendously in audience and profile over the last 4 years and is now one of Leinster’s prime radio stations.
