This article explores how Ireland's first LGBT radio station, Open FM, attempted to offer LGBT radio in a heteronormative media landscape.

For this reason, it is our intention to expand upon the application of the idea of dualcasting to describe how Open FM reached its audience, but also fostered a dualcasting approach to the vision for the station and within its production practices, whereby it tried to
