Ireland's newest media brand, Onic, has launched with a commitment to re-shaping the future of the audio and digital landscape in Ireland. Onic, formerly Wireless Ireland, is home to some of Ireland's best-loved radio stations: Dublin's FM104 and Q102, Cork's 96FM and C103, Live 95 in Limerick, LMFM and U105 in Belfast. The group's representative sales house, urbanmedia, will also become Onic. In a significant move, Onic also confirmed the launch of 10 new services on the much anticipated DAB+ trial across the broader Leinster area, a suite of new digital streams, an expansion of talkSPORT Ireland and newly refreshed websites. Onic has also invested heavily in visualised studios and is delighted to announce new POD and VOD offerings under the Onic Originals banner. In the coming months the group will launch the Onic App and Player, a space where it will bring all the group's live audio, podcast and visualised content together in a single destination. This new brand reflects the organisation's strategy to strengthen connections with audiences, partners and communities. With its extensive network, Onic enables brands to deliver their messages effectively, reaching diverse demographics across multiple regions - both nationally and internationally. This enhanced accessibility maximises campaign impact, creating deeper connections between brands and their audiences. Highlights from the Onic announcement include A suite of DAB+ and digital services delivering expanded consumer choice, and complementary audiences to our existing brands. These will target audiences in niche formats including Rock, Kids, Country and RnB amongst others. The expansion of talkSPORT Ireland, having secured exclusive Premier League football rights on Saturdays for the next four seasons, alongside the launch of a number of digital products. These include MNÁsplaining, a female sports focused show hosted by social media star Kayleigh Trappe, and the Beyond The 45 and 65 a GAA series featuring GAA icons Owen Mulligan, Lee Keegan and John 'Bubbles' O'Dwyer amongst others. Onic Originals will include new podcasts later in the year hosted by established Onic talent including Kathryn Thomas from Dublin's Q102 and Thomas 'Crossy' Crosse from FM104. In addition to established talent, Socially Awkward will be hosted by some of Ireland's sharpest young voices - Brandon Caufield, Shanice Griffin and Daniel Devlin and On The Kase, led by the charismatic Kasey Campion. All are shining examples of emerging talent that will appeal to younger audiences. A roadmap of consumer products, including aggregator App and Player to enhance the user experience and deliver even more choice for our audiences. A new range of cross-platform marketing and advertising opportunities for our commercial partners as we weave our new digital products into our existing radio stations to deliver national reach.

In this episode Michelle talks about being reborn after having her confidence stripped,  being humiliated and losing herself all at the cost of trying to fulfil her dream career.  We discuss how even strong women can fall victim to the misogyny of the music industry and the moment she reclaimed her power!   “The misogynistic, the uncaring, revolting behaviour and words that were spoken to us for those two years, I, honest to God was broken. I was not myself. I couldn't sleep outside of panic attacks, literally spiralled into this depression.   I came home, like the most amazing thing I did was performed like 20,000 people in Trafalgar Square with the girls. And we had the best time, and we all said, like we had to call it. Everyone was like, it was getting to the point where it was ridiculous. I was such a positive, loving person all in my life, got to a stage where I couldn't even sleep, I couldn't talk, I couldn't laugh. I was just numb to the world. ”   ABOUT THE GUEST - MICHELLE GRIMES   Irish Pop singer and multi-instrumentalist Michelle Grimes arrived on the scene with a voice, panache and Pop / R'n'B sensibility that instantly set her apart from her musical peers. No stranger to the stage, Michelle has performed in Trafalgar Square to over 20,000 spectators as part of ‘Pride in London', has sung for the King and Queen of Belgium as well as singing for The Taoiseach and the U.S Presidential party in June last year when they visited Ireland.    Hailing from Limerick, Grimes has emerged as one of the country's most promising pop acts of recent memory. After the release of her first single ‘Going, Going, Gone', Hotpress nominated Grimes alongside the likes of Dermot Kennedy and Denise Chaila for Irish artist of the year and one to watch. Michelle's debut single wowed Irish radio and she went straight onto playlists across the country from Fm104, Live95, LMFM, Corks 96 and C103 as their Select Irish Artist of the Month as well as gracing the airwaves across BBC (Track of the week), 2FM, Spin and many more. Michelle smashed it at the overall International Radio Charts in Ireland landing on the Top 20 most played Artists on Irish radio alongside Ariana, Joel Corry, Dermot Kennedy, Dua Lipa and other stars. The track reached #3 in the breakers charts on Irish radio too.    CONNECT WITH MICHELLE:   https://www.instagram.com/michellegrimesofficial/ https://www.tiktok.com/@michellegrimesofficial https://twitter.com/MichelleGrimess   Name That Tune Song:   UNSTOPPABLE - Sia https://amzn.to/3wDtPMV   ABOUT THE HOST - EVE HORNE   Eve Horne is an Award Winning Singer, songwriter, producer, sound engineer, podcast producer and more recently, a creative transformational coach, Mentor and Advisor.
