A radio station dedicated to Halloween has launched today and will be streaming for the next 10 days.
The pop-up station started online at 1pm today (Wednesday 23rd) and will be playing ‘wickedly good music’ and will be the ‘perfect soundtrack to all your Halloween celebrations’.
Sponsored by Fanta, it’ll play a wide range of music from a mix of upbeat Halloween-inspired hits to a collection of spooky songs and classics. Typical songs include ‘Sweet but Pyscho’ – Ava Max, ‘Bad Guy’ – Billie Ellish and of course, all the Halloween classics including Ray Parker Jnr’s “Ghostbusters”.
Features include the ‘Sixty Second Scare’ and the ‘Monster Movie Minute’ and what’s on in Ireland around Halloween.
Programmes range from The bloody breakfast Show with Adrienne O’Hora, to Fionnuala Moran; Fanta Ambassador, journalist and social media star, hosting ‘Nightmare Nights’ each night from 7pm – 11pm.
During the day it’ll be Midday Madness with Lucianne Hughes and the Drive from Hell with Ryan O’Neill.
