    That was a good shout. I have updated my phone as it needed updating. But it still isn't working.
    I really want to listen tonight before it ends :-(

    After updating the phone, uninstall and reinstall the most up to date app version.

    And that’s that. ChristmasFM with presenters is off the air until November 2021.

    I wonder will they return earlier in November this year like they did last year.

    I suspect they only did that last year as a way for presenters to trial presenting from home.

    It would be great if they did continue to do that but suspect you're spot on with it being the trial of remote presenting.

    I put it on a few minutes ago and listed to a few songs. Just not the same without a presenter.
    Time to hide the app for another 10(ish) months.
    Thoroughly enjoyed the station this year. There's been a few nice songs released over the last couple of years. I particularly liked the Goo Goo Dolls' song.
    Honourable mentions to Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow.
    Coldplay though... Urgh.

    But thanks to all the Christmas FM team. They did a brilliant job for the last couple of months. Certainly lifted my spirits when I was feeling down a few times in November and December.

    Completely agree it’s not the same without the presenters.

    The goo goo dolls and Robbie Williams songs were brilliant.

    The ChristmasFM team are amazing. Their hosts and volunteers do so much work and bring so much joy to the country. If anyone hasn’t download and give the ChristmasFM podcast a listen it’s a great listen and great fun. Hopefully that will be back bigger and better in 2021.

    Time to box up ChristmasFM for the next few months. Hopefully it won’t be long before we hear from them again.

    Any idea when the final fundraising amount is known?

    Maybe it was announced already and I missed it.

    I think they announce it mid January at some stage.

    Last Christmas final reaches number 1, 36 years after it was first released.

    Edit: just seen this already posted in other thread. Anyway worth repeating as such a great song/video.

    Ah lads, really missing Christmas FM now... I was doing fine with the Christmas holiday being over until I came in to work & have nothing cheery to keep the mood high... must resist the christmas playlist urge though or I'll be up to my neck in the post christmas blues in no time.

    I have my Christmas playlist (updated to include Goo Goo Dolls and Robbie Williams new ones) ready to go for my walk this evening. Will stick to Christmas tunes on all even walks this week then back to podcasts for the following week.

    To help me with the lack of Christmassy I'm now working my way through my podcast list, so far I'm playing catch up on all the podcasts I haven't listen to since work ended meaning I have a rang of podcasts dated from 20th Dec to 24th Dec, meaning there is some Christmas ones in there meaning this weeks background noise will be Christmassy.

    We fully went over off the dark side and got Alexa for Christmas!

    Elf1 has been asking it to play Christmas songs every day since I set it up on Stephens Days.

    Very quiet here this morning, miss the chaos if I'm being honest!

    Was thinking the same. Unlikely I'll be up for the 6am start though.

    If anyone is let us know what song they start with.

    That's right- they apply every year for a 30 day temporary license to broadcast on FM between November 28th and December 27th. That's the max you are allowed in a calendar year so online comes in handy.
