Dublin's Q102 is a commercial radio station in Dublin, owned by News Broadcasting which is in turn owned by News UK. It broadcasts on 102.2 MHz FM. The station is licensed to target the 35+ age group, and must provide hourly news, as well as current events programming. It broadcasts under a contract from Coimisiún na Meán. Q102 broadcasts from Macken House in Dublin's Docklands.
The station was launched as Lite 102.2. On purchasing the station, UTV rebranded it to Dublin's Q102 thanks to research of Dublin people aged over 35, who decided on bringing back the name of a former pirate radio station.
