8Radio.com is an Irish radio station, started in 2013 by Phantom FM founder Simon Maher.[2][3] It is mostly an online music station, but broadcasts on DAB+ in Leinster, and has sometimes received a temporary licence from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) for FM broadcasts in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick.[4][5][6]

Some of the station's presenters have had previous involvement with Phantom FM.[7] Some others have previously worked with Dublin City FM and Raidió Na Life.[citation needed]

Its founder, Simon Maher, has described the station as finding "a niche among music lovers and those who may not currently consume much, if any, traditional FM radio".[8]

Following the launch of FáilteDAB in 2025, 8Radio began broadcasting on DAB+ throughout Dublin and the wider Leinster area.[9]
