DCUfm has achieved national recognition for its news and sport output. Its flagship shows are "Newswire" and "Action Replay", while additional programming is introduced for special events such as national budgets, or DCU SU and Dáil elections. Its interviews with former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, in which he insisted his economic management was largely correct, and British National Party leader Nick Griffin were among those to receive national coverage. "Newswire" won the National Student Media Award for best news and current affairs radio programme for the fourth year in a row in April 2013. "Action Replay" was crowned best arts and features show at the 2011 awards.
