Radio Nova Legend Confirmed For Music Ireland ‘07

Former Radio Nova boss added to Music Ireland '07 line-up

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 11 Sep 2007

The Irish broadcast industry will be interested – and perhaps a little apprehensive! – to learn that former Radio Nova boss Chris Cary has been added to the line-up for Music Ireland ’07, which takes place in the Dublin R.D.S. from October 5 to 7.

Having previously plied his trade with the likes of Radio Caroline, Radio Northsea International and Radio Luxembourg, Cary pitched up in Ireland in 1981 and with his “clutter-free” Nova format became Dublin’s most listened to radio station for a staggering five years.

Overlooked when legal franchises were being handed out – “I just wasn’t prepared to bung”, he says archly – Carey will be participating in the ‘Future Of Radio’ debate with among others RTÉ 2XM head honcho Mark McCabe.

Chris Cary

He was one of the most controversial figures in the history of Irish broadcasting, turning Radio Nova into a money-making machine and courting confrontation with the gardai, RTE and the NUJ. With the end of the pirate era, he moved to England, where he came unstuck, following a scam that deprived Rupert Murdoch of millions. Many a colourful adventure later, Chris Cary is back in the news - and determined that he can convince the powers-that-be to let him operate the national long-wave frequency that once housed Atlantic 252.
