One day pop-up radio station launched for St Patrick’s Day

A new pop-up radio station will be launched for one day this St Patrick’s Day, in celebration of our national holiday.

Being launched by the same people behind Christmas FM, the station will be live on the airwaves from 6am to 6pm on Wednesday, March 17.

In a statement, the organisers said: “Brought about by a new partnership from the team behind Christmas FM and Novatone Music Media, ‘This is Ireland’ from Christmas FM will showcase the best of Ireland in celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day.

“With live presenters from 6am to 6am, ‘This is Ireland’ from Christmas FM will explore the songs and stories of Ireland and the influence of Irish culture across the globe, from the past to the present day.

“The pop up station is a trial run in 2021, with a view to running an expanded station in future. It’s on for one day only so don’t miss it!”

The organisers are also calling on people to send in an audio greeting to family and friends around the world with the best ones being played on air.

1. Record your greeting on your phone in a quiet location (keep your message to 30-60 seconds)
2. Email it to ireland@christmasfm.com

‘This is Ireland’ can be heard wherever you listen to Christmas FM live on smart speakers, the Christmas FM app, TuneIn, on your smart device and online at www.christmasfm.com and on socials @christmasfm.
