Louth presenter to bring festive cheer to the airwaves with Christmas FM

Local Louth based presenter Celine Weldon from Drogheda is just one of the many volunteers who are devoting their time on-air this Christmas at festive radio station, Christmas FM. 

Christmas FM is now broadcasting and will continue to play festive hits all throughout the Christmas season on FM and online.

The station will play round-the-clock Christmas tunes, spreading an abundance of festive cheer and seasonal goodwill in the run up to the big day. 

Listeners can look forward to hearing all of their festive favourite Christmas songs as well as newer Christmas hits, while the radio station presenters, who volunteer their time, will be sprinkling lots of festive cheer and keeping the spirits of the nation merry.

The main FM radio frequency for Christmas FM in  Dundalk / Drogheda is  104.2.

Christmas FM, which is celebrating its 15th year on air this year, has raised over three million euro for a range of charities since it began broadcasting. 

This year, the radio station has launched a new fundraising initiative called ‘The Magic of Christmas,’ which brings together Barnardos, Barretstown, Make-A-Wish Ireland and The Community Foundation for Ireland as their official charity partners for the next three years.

Christmas FM is aiming to raise over €1,000,000 over the three years to help the charities support vulnerable children in our communities affected by traumatic life events such as poverty, abuse, neglect and bereavement, as well as supporting children whose lives are affected by serious childhood illness. 

The costs of running Christmas FM are covered by various sponsors. This year the radio station is generously supported by Premier FM sponsors An Post, Cadbury and Coca Cola. Christmas FM is run each year by a core management team, assisted by many volunteers who donate their time. Christmas FM will also be broadcasting from The Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley.

Garvan Rigby, co-founder of Christmas FM says:

“We are excited that Christmas FM is switching Christmas on for the 15th  year spreading Christmas cheer around Ireland all throughout the festive season. Cadbury, Coca Cola and An Post have returned as premier FM sponsors again this year. 

“Celebrating our 15th year on the airwaves is a significant milestone for us which we wouldn’t have been able to achieve without the BAI and our amazing listeners and volunteers who have supported us and our chosen charities throughout the years. 

“This year we will be raising money for children’s charities Barnardos, Barretstown, Make-A-Wish Ireland and The Community Foundation for Ireland through The Magic of Christmas initiative”.
