Why are Sunshine 106.8fm paying to antagonise people in Rathmines and are having their adverts beamed directly into their homes and into the eyes of drivers at a busy junction. Could you explain please?https://twitter.com/RathminesEye/status/1584568719917076487?s=20&t=oeJttM42-WFoXX1s4Mr_GA Fellow Rathmines residents have also noticed the glare of the sign, one wrote:
Why is Sunshine 106.8fm flashing “relax” in our window with lightning white brightness every few seconds - this is light pollution metres from our kids’ bedroom window.Previous businesses using the offending sign have included McDonald's and Sky, according to the Rathmines Eye. Sunshine 106.8 told Lovin Dublin:
"The advert for Sunshine 106.8 running on the digital display in Rathmines is specifically and deliberately timed to take into account issues around brightness that may arise during evenings and overnights which may be considered undesirable by some.
