The only stations I see as 'safe' left are Bauer's two NI stations, Downtown Radio and Cool FM which are 24/7 produced from Newtownards.
If the upcoming Media Bill allows stations from the ROI to launch on DAB, then I could see GHR replacing Downtown across and Hits Radio on 97.4 in Belfast as listeners from either side could listen to UK or Irish stations on linear radio regardless, although I'd rather there was still a mainstream commercial station catering to all people in NI.
