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)
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)
