When I listened, they actually played music and stuff, but it changed, so stopped listening.
Slightly 'off topic' but an interesting read from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_252 ...
"Atlantic 252 was a long wave radio station broadcasting to Ireland and Britain on 252 kHz (1190.4 metres), which provided service from 1989 until 2002. The frequency was re-subsumed by RTÉ in 2002 to provide a version of RTÉ Radio 1 to the expatriate community in Britain."

Since RTE shut their Medium Wave service in March, it's essential for some customers that this become available on VM (ex-NTL) soon, although Long Wave 252kHz (albeit poorer quality) and internet are still options. It would be nice to have RTE International and it's other digital only channels too, although, despite being Irish, I tend not to feel the need to listen to my national radio station.
Oh and is there any news of Hallmark +1 yet?
