 Despite their name, they do not broadcast on the medium wave band (1038 not being a valid medium wave frequency), but on 103.8 FM.SPIN 1038 is mostly heard in Dublin but can also be heard in such towns as Naas, Celbridge, Leixlip, Maynooth, Drogheda and Bray due to their close proximity to Dublin.The station (which originally applied for its contract as "Spin FM") was one of three new ILR stations which were awarded franchises in October 1999.
