    Is that on TuneIn or Pandora or what please?

    Its on tunein..........just look under Christmas and there's a load of stations from all over the world. There's a really cool classical Christmas station from Canada that's playing great tunes you'd never hear this side if the world.

    I wish Christmas FM would play the proper version of Stop the Cavalry.
    The new Irish version is just awful.:(

    I've been listening to an awful lot of Christmas FM but I've only heard Song B in the song contest. Unfortunately it has awfully clichéd lyrics. :( I presume they're playing the other ones but I just thought it was weird that I haven't heard them at all.

    Bring back Funzo I say!

    I'm not sure what you're thinking of, but a 'good few posts' have not been deleted from this thread. I know because I've just checked.

    Did they reach the 20k mark by 7pm the last night? Was that 20k overall or just the day?

    This is really embarrassing........that was a post meant for the football forum. I honestly don't know how I ended up posting it in the Christmas FM thread. Massive apologies for the mistake.

    Thanks to all the folks in Christmas FM for another wonderful month of Christmas music. Loved listening to it for the 4 weeks when I was out and about in the car.
    Hopefully it'll be back again next Christmas.

    Yep that was the issue alright.

    A bit thanks to everyone for their support this year. We raised our target of €100,000 for Age Action and had a lot of fun doing it.

    Sorry LoughC - Totally forgot to post that show Seems to have been deleted off the computer that it was recorded on, really sorry about that.

    Delighted that we exceeded our 100k target. Here's the moment it all happened.

    Could someone tell me if the Classic Christmas FM stream is skipping for them as well please? You have to listen for a good few minutes in order to tell. Absolutely love that stream and I'm starting to notice Christmas is coming again!!! :D

    Only 214 days :P :o

    No need to worry they didn't announce anything until 22nd September last year. So I reckon we'll hear something around then this year.

    As is well, we'll be back the last day in November. Is the App still acting up? Only saw those posts now.
