History
In 2002, Liffey Sound Communications Co-Operative Society Limited was registered with the Irish Office of the Registrar of Friendly Societies. On 11 July 2006, the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland signed a five-year community radio contract with Liffey Sound Communications Co-Operative Society Limited, and the station began broadcasting in that same month. The official opening of the station took place on 6 October, presided over by the then Italian Ambassador to Ireland, Lugio Albertio Savoria.

Initially, Liffey Sound FM operated with a weekend schedule of 23 hours per week. Over time, the station has expanded its broadcasting hours and currently broadcasts for a total of 58 hours per week. In June 2011, Liffey Sound Communications Co-Operative Society Limited secured a three-year extension to the Broadcasting License.
