PIRATES A / Z
Wonderland Radio was a station serving the Tallaght community of Dublin, which started around May 1984, and used to make it to the UK but only just, on 1359kHz. Manx Radio used to give the station a hammering in the west of the country. As well as announcing as Wonderland Radio, it also called itself 'Tallaght Community Broadcasting'. By 1986, the station was identifying as Tallaght Community Radio, later using the TCR name. |

| 1984_05_09_wed_wonderland_1359am_1655-1825_steveobrian_joecarney_tonyadams-ght18.mp3 New Feb 2022 | Teatime shows from Wonderland Radio including Steve O'Brian, Joe Carney and Tony Adams, with news at 6pm. The station was also calling itself Tallaght Community Broadcasting on this recording. The signal was received around the Merrion area of Dublin and suffers from splattering from Manx Radio on the next channel. You can also hear hear a station underneath which at the time would probably have been Big M Community Radio in Monaghan. |
