The official Christmas FM thread

Loughc

Working for me now as well. Thanks Ronan!

Toto Wolfcastle

Just listened to it while I was doing the dishes! Thanks for playing Funzo, Ronan. I'm feeling all Christmassy now!

I love that Christmas FM appreciates how much we all love Christmas here! 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.

FM loud and clear in Oranmore....although the display says 8Radio Classic Rock

Are there DAB channels this year or have I got the wrong end of the stick altogether?

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.

Goes live with DJs and jingles from Midday. Although the stream is working now.

Toto Wolfcastle

Doing the same trip today as we'll be doing on Christmas Eve so I'll be able to see how long I can listen for. The midlands is usually where it gets dodgy! Can't wait.

Thanks loughc. I'm listening to the stream all morning but thought it was going live at 8.00. I'm so excited.

Yea it's a pity they couldn't get/afford a few more FM sites. Kilduff would do nicely for Tipp

Tipp has a serious amount of hilariously country radio stations though. :pac: We usually turn the radio off around there. Nothing to listen to really.

Three minutes!

And we are live! Christmas has been turned on

Yay!!!!! Nothing like a bit of Andy Williams to get things going

Oh Gawd Lads, I'm so thrilled I could cry!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D

And what a cracker of a song to kick off!!!

Toto Wolfcastle

Excellent first song and even more excellent second song! I really feel like we're driving home for Christmas even though it's just a regular visit to my family!

washiskin

OMG Shakey!!!!!

Is it me or is the bitrate for the online stream rather low? Very "tinny" sounding.....actually the bitrate is the same as the Classic Christmas FM stream which sounds perfect to me. Strange....

The first outing of Gene Autrey this year. I think he wrote Here Comes Santa Claus, another top3 of mine.

Toto Wolfcastle

We lost it for a good while there but the Cork frequency is working nicely now!

washiskin

Awww, that Harry Connick jr song is just gorgeous!

Er....dusty in here..... something in my eye....

Hurry up work and finish

Online stream sounds great now! Cheers guys.
