    Just spotted in the most recent Halloween fm email a note at the bottom saying Christmas fm is coming back early, so its looking like it won't be a Saturday launch after all...

    Man that is some great news. I am only allowed (as a grown up) listen to Christmas music and decorate when Christmas fm launches so the earlier the better.

    So judging from last year we should get word on the official start date on around the 10th of November.

    I’m hoping that’s an automatic thing from last year as the 28th was the date last year so the 28th wouldn’t be earlier.

    I heard a presenter mention the 28th earlier for the FM station, but they said something is happening this Thursday as well?

    I gave up on this season when Dak got injured. we'll finish 2-14 & hopefully get a new head coach to replace bozo. If that happens it will have been worth it.

    A number of Christmas FM presenters have had involvement with community radio stations. They include: Mark Manning, Gerry Healy, Declan Ralph, Lar Flynn, Sarah Jane Fortune and Karl Tsignidos. I am sure there are others.

    Further to previous posts, I found some more connections.

    ………

    What else do the following Christmas FM presenters all have in common: Keith Shanley, Kieran Carrick, Emmet Reilly, Brian Boyle and Shay Harford ?

    Answer: they all present on English language Spanish station Real FM.
    Scottish native Craig McComish and Christmas FM presenter is also a presenter on Real FM.

    Since the Christian-oriented music station Spirit Radio (or Spirit FM) has launched, there have been a lot of connections with Christmas FM.

    Garvan Rigby was the original Programme Director for Spirit Radio.

    The following presenters of Christmas FM have also been presenters on Spirit Radio:
    Kieran Carrick, Shay Harford, Bernie Jamieson, Mark Manning, Gerry Healy, Wendy Grace and Ollie Clarke. I'm sure there has been more.
    And I was right! Adrian Nolan and Aisling Cuffe are also involved with Spirit Radio.

    Jesus you have no idea how that post got me excited. I have an ironclad agreement that we can decorate the day Christmas fm launches.

    Is IG Instagram? I'm not down with the kids.
