The station was launched as Lite 102.2. On purchasing the station, UTV rebranded it to Q102 thanks to research of Dublin people aged over 35, who decided on bringing back the name of a former pirate radio station. The rebrand also changed the station's style of programming, targeting a younger audience than Lite Fm, however still aiming to make it "the taxi driver's choice".

Relaunch

The station's relaunch was "orchestrated" by Ray Shah, a station presenter, who apparently "took over" the station until it was relaunched. The "take over" involved a defacement of Lite 102.2's website and the constant playing of Mah Nà Mah Nà during the transition period. The stations Radio Data System PS name was changed to " MUPPET " during this time, before settling on " Q102 " afterwards.

Programming

The station broadcasts mainly adult contemporary music aimed at the 35+ age group. Its flagship show is 'QBreakfast' with "local Dub" Debbie Allen and Alan Short, the "Funny guy" broadcast from 6am-9am. The station broadcasts news on the hour (half-hour at peak times) along with sports, traffic and weather updates. The radio station primarily is on a mission to make people "feel good". Adult contemporary music, frequently abbreviated AC, is a type of radio format that plays mainstream contemporary pop music, excluding hip hop, hard rock, and some teen pop music, which is intended for an adult audience. ...
