    Yeah, not unusual and normally settles down for trouble free listening when it matters.

    Was hoping the west may have been added for my drive to westport on Thursday but looks like I'll lose the signal after strokestown again like last year.

    Christmas FM via Tunein is dreadful in the car

    Can't wait to be able to hear it via FM

    I love how Christmas FM shows the song and singer on my Google display. I wish all the stations would enable this!

    Was WFH for the afternoon & had Christmas FM on in the background, first time this year I've really enjoyed the main channel. Loved the DJ's constantly referring to the FM launch tomorrow, you can feel the excitement around it.

    Roll on midday tomorrow & we can see who gets the ball rolling re: first FM song of the year.

    The FM had a generic playlist playing all day today obviously testing the frequencies for go live tomorrow.

    interestingly enough they’ve taken to social media to ask people for first song suggestions. If they go off it Fairytale of New York is going to romp home the winner.

    Emily Brew is one of the people hosting the opening show 12pm, delighted for her as her weekend show on Radio Nova is great and she has been a huge part of ChristmasFM for years now!

    4th time its been used. 2011, 2015, last year & now this year.

    Bing Crosby's 'Its beginning to look like Christmas' still in the lead with 6 times used as first song.
