Atlantic 252 was a longwave radio station that broadcast from Ireland to the United Kingdom and parts of mainland Europe between 1989 and 2002. It was known for its contemporary music format, playing a mix of pop and rock aimed at a younger audience. The station was owned by Radio Tara Ltd, a partnership between RTÉ (Ireland's national broadcaster) and RTL Group.
Atlantic 252 became popular for its high-energy presentation, featuring DJs like Charlie Wolf and Dusty Rhodes, and was a major competitor to FM stations in the UK. However, as FM radio became more dominant, the station struggled to maintain its audience and eventually ceased broadcasting in 2002.
