Q100.5 (formerly Five FM) is a radio station 'based' in Newry, County Down. It broadcasts on FM 100.5/101.1FM to Newry City and the surrounding areas of Northern Ireland. The station claims to broadcast a mix of news, sport, music and community information for the area but most of its broadcasts (138 out of 168 hours per week) are from the 'Q Network' and not local to, or broadcast from Newry. One of the station's directors is Lord Kilclooney, the former Ulster Unionist Deputy Leader and MP, also known as John Taylor.
The station went "Live" on 12 December 2006 at 10.05am broadcasting across Newry City, the Mourne region and beyond, including, south-eastern Armagh and south-western Down. It can be received as far north as Dromore, Portadown, Lurgan, Craigavon, and as far south as counties Louth, Meath, Monaghan and the outskirts of Dublin City.
Q100.5 also provides coverage of local sporting fixtures, and "Live" commentaries with John Davenney.
