It is made for listeners who want sharper guitars, darker edges, bigger attitude and a station that does not sound like everything else.

Frequencies & locations:
- Online – Onic Alternative is available as an online indie and alternative music stream.
- DAB+ – Onic services have been included on Ireland’s FáilteDAB test multiplex across the broader Leinster area.
Onic Alternative focuses on the stronger, more distinctive side of modern and classic alternative music. The station brings together indie rock, post-punk, electronic-leaning tracks and alternative favourites from different eras, giving it a sharper identity than a broad pop or classic hits station.
The format works because alternative music is not one single sound. It can be guitar-led, synth-heavy, moody, loud, melodic, strange or surprisingly catchy. Onic Alternative gives that range a dedicated home, with music that suits listeners who want something more interesting than safe background radio without drifting into a totally niche specialist format.
As part of the Onic family in Ireland, Onic Alternative sits alongside a wider group of genre-focused digital stations. Its schedule is built around named dayparts rather than personality-led talk, keeping the station clean, direct and music-first from breakfast through to overnight listening.
