{"product_id":"2rn-the-troubled-birth-eddie-bohan-9798267294638","title":"2RN, The Troubled Birth","description":"On January 1st 1926, the airwaves crackled to the sound of a new radio station in Dublin, 2RN. While the Irish Free State joined the pantheon of global broadcasters, its birth was troubled. Unsure whether radio in Ireland should be a commercial enterprise or State run, the Government formed a Wireless Committee but it became mired in controvery with rumours, fraud charges, suicides and an inability to plerase everyone. From humble beginnings above a disused warehouse in the heart of Dublin, 2RN opened and despite financial constraints, competition from abroad and a certain suspcian of the airwaves, Irish radio thrived. 2RN became Radio Eireann and today is RTE Radio, now just part of a expansive radio landscape across the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eddie Bohan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798267294638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Eddie Bohan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997293392127,"sku":"9798267294638","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/2rn-the-troubled-birth-eddie-bohan-9798267294638","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
