ARN’s Christmas station Elf Radio goes on air
Australian Radio Network has launched Christmas-themed digital station Elf Radio.
Elf Radio will broadcast from today until Boxing Day in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.
This will be the fourth year for the festive station which this year won a gong at the Commercial Radio Awards for best short term digital format.
The playlist includes the likes of Bryan Adams, Michael Buble, Kelly Clarkson, U2, Guy Sebastian, Paul Kelly and many more.
Bah, Humbug.
Just tried it. Didn’t work. Took forever to load. The online player is all weather, news headlines and masterchef. #thatsnotchristmas #wheresthefun
Once again Canberra misses out even though ARN owns both FM stations here. They could have bumped their digital Classic Rock station which is simply a few records and features playing on an endless loop.
love it. Great Idea!
Hi Hoin, We’ve actually had a few people ask us about Canberra today – so we’ve had a play around with our spectrum in Canberra and you’ll be glad to know Elf Radio will broadcast in Canberra too – right through to 26th December. Cheers, Nick.
Brilliant idea and a great use of digital radio for short-term broadcasting!
FYI 104.7 & MIXX is jointly owned by Austereo & ARN
Love love love Elf Radio!! As do my kids.
Thanks for this station, the music makes me very happy. I have trouble finding good Christmas CDs! Kids think I am a little crazy singing the songs out loud…
