Origin of 2RN

[edit]

According to RTE, the name may have been inspired by the last three syllables of the song title Come Back To Erin. [1]

Is this sufficient to address the dubious annotation in the article? It'd be helpful to locate the naming convention used by other early broadcasters at that time. jxm (talk) 04:53, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The 2RN callsign came about because 2DN was unavailable. The usual practice was to use the first and last letters of the name of the city in which a broadcasting station was based for its callsign (Cork was 6CK for example). The realisation that 2RN sounded like "To Erin" came after the fact. 86.157.36.124 (talk) 20:43, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
