The official Christmas FM thread

Thanks all, turns out we weren't aware about the stream skipping until you guys brought it up so as always its hugely appreciated. We are going to be building the racks for the studio this week (I know its only September! But its Technically Next month we are live) and servers in the coming week as part of the studio set up. Once this is done the skipping should be resolved. Unfortunately this does mean down time and we're not sure how long it will be, but may be a few hours or a full day.

Hi All,

Not long now, I'm really excited about make a wish being our partner this year. It opens the scope for lots of making wishes come true and sure that's what Christmas is all about. Anyone that has idea's let me know, I think we can get a great community events around this partner.

I've an invite for anyone that's interested. Make a Wish are hosting a table quiz and for those that are fan's we'd love you to be there. I should be able arrange a quick visit to the studio for anyone that's interested, and I'd love to meet up with the folks here who have supported us over the years.

@Loughc I like the idea of the Podcast. I know I'll be able to convince Rachel from Make A Wish to get involved too, If you and others here would volunteer to help prepare or produce, I'm happy to present and record. Not sure how many podcast listeners we'll get but sure nothing ventured nothing gained.

Hi All,

Sorry for the lack of posts. We are nearly live, studio is fully set up and the elves are getting all the toys we need ready to go live. Over the next few days prior to launch all the presenters will be doing test shows which we'll be streaming live. Lots of the presenters from previous years are back on board, Keith with the morning show etc. And we've a few new name on this list.

We'll be testing the frequencies so there might be a small bit of FM transmissions prior to launch. Then we officially switch on on the 28th and the fun goes on.

I haven't forgotten about your requests for a pre-show / podcast, I'll get on that tomorrow and stream a one hour show tomorrow around 12.30 midday (online only) and try to record it, put it on sound cloud and post the link here. No promises as i'm not sure if the computers for recording and balancing will be set up by tomorrow. Content wise I'm going to go over this thread and one other in the section - basically playing the best of the boardies requests as posted on the Christmas Board. But if you've special requests feel free to post them here. I'll try to video a studio tour also to give you guys a behind the scenes look.

Can't wait to get back on air. Ronan

Now we just have to work on the toy show so that we can all go! (We'd be the best audience ever!)

Replace with small kids with big kids like us I say. Forget audience, give us the toys to demo.

I think a toy show with adults roadtesting toys they never got as kids and still lust after and today's current must haves would be GENIUS.

And Tubs wishing like he wasn't there and taking ques from his ear piece, it should be way more fun that it seems on TV.
