    Happens all the time, I'm used to it...:(

    But nice to get a shout out though!!! Perfect way to end a week in work!

    I didn’t even notice if it’s consolation!

    Love that it plays in the background while you use other apps.

    Yep, great way to finish off the working week.

    Really got me in the mood now.......’deck the halls’ on now :):)

    Has the frequency changed this year? The preset on the car radio gave me some other station, or is it just online atm?

    The Xmas FM frequencies are used by other temporary services at other times of the year. In Dublin/Cork/Limerick/Galway, Irish language pop station Raidio Ri-Ra was on air for about a week there recently

    Myself and the Mrs will listen to the first song together on Christmas FM and it will be the official first song of listening to Christmas music in general. Last year I was in the office with headphones on and she was in a shop also with headphones on, the pogues was the first song and we just messaged each other on what's app and both of us where very emotional in a good way. Christmas FM is a massive part of our family Christmas and to anyone seeing this from Christmas FM, thanks for everything ye do, it's always such an amazing cause. Roll on Thursday ho ho ho. Wonder what the first song will be ???

    Any bets on the first 'live' song being 'Its beginning to look alot like christmas' again? I'd say its odds on!!

    Twas a lack of requests not any complaints I believe. As it would be day 1 a lack of requests couldn't be the issue, so text in the first hour.

    I actually have some weird barrier that won't let me listen to a Christmas song each year until Christmas FM goes live

    Roll on Thursday!! :D
