Abstract
This article explores how Ireland’s first LGBT radio station, Open FM,
attempted to offer LGBT radio in a heteronormative media landscape. It uses
semi-structured interviews with two of the stations founders as well as posts
from online LGBT message bulletin boards to argue how Open FM ultimately
became ambivalent about its LGBT status and adopted a dualcasting strategy.
Despite its ambitions to be a community-led radio station for Ireland's LGBT
community, the dualcasting strategy of the station framed many of its endeavors
between the mainstream standards of radio broadcasting and the community
of interest that their licence claimed to serve.
