Belfast gets its own Christmas radio station

A Christmas radio station will appear in Belfast this December aiming to raise money for charity.

Radio Lapland will be on 103.2FM from December 1st to 26th as part of the NI Hospice fundraising initiative which is hoping to raise £250,000.

Special presenters include Stephen Nolan, Adrian Logan, Ruairi McSorely, Oliva Nash and Sarah Travers, and it is supported by Blast 106.

Shane Pearce, Blast 106’s breakfast presenter and Station Director of Radio Lapland said: “Radio Lapland will change Christmas in Belfast forever! The station is a first of its kind for the city and promises to play continuous Christmas Classics on 103.2FM from December 1st. There will be choirs in the studio; there will be outside broadcasts too, and Radio Lapland will have big names hosting shows and popular guests throughout the festive period.

“This is a great opportunity for everyone to get involved and all for two great reasons – to celebrate Christmas and to help Northern Ireland Hospice continue to provide the highest quality palliative care to local people in our hospices and in the community.”
