Bauer Media Group – Northern Ireland, home of Downtown Radio, Cool FM and Downtown Country, has announced its Downtown Radio station is to become the Home of Christmas Music for Northern Ireland this December.

The unprecedented move for a radio station in NI will allow listeners to enjoy their favourite festive tunes across Downtown’s schedule throughout December – with Gary and Glen ‘pressing play’ in the studio at 8.30am this Monday as the Breakfast Show kickstarts the station-wide activity.

Stuart Robinson, Programme Controller for Bauer Media Group – Northern Ireland, said:

“We are big fans of Christmas here at Bauer Media Group – Northern Ireland, so we thought what better way to celebrate the season than by creating the Home of Christmas Music, by dedicating 100% of our mainstream playlists throughout December to listeners’ favourite festive tunes.

“Across the schedule, we will have a mixture of the age-old classics right-up to newest songs to join the Christmas canon.”

Breakfast presenters, Gary Myles and Glen Pavis, added:

“Whether you’re online Christmas shopping, decorating your tree, driving home for Christmas or just sat in the office counting down the days until you can put on your out-of-office, we will be providing the perfect festive soundtrack.

“Tune in from 8.30am on Monday morning as we help bring some Christmas cheer to listeners across Northern Ireland throughout the month of December!
