Irish Country Music Plays 3-4 Hours Daily on Some Stations
“Irish Country music for 3-4 hours every night on some stations. I imagine there's an audience for this, and it's not just there because it's required by regulation.”
Summary
Several Irish stations, both online (e.g., Irish Country Radio, Irish Country Music Radio) and FM (e.g., Northern Sound’s nightly Country & Irish show), broadcast Irish country music for multiple hours each night, often 3‑4 hours or more. Their programming schedules show continuous or nightly blocks dedicated to the genre, indicating a clear listener demand rather than any regulatory mandate.
