The lights are twinkling, the air is colder, and the unmistakable sound of sleigh bells is back on the radio – because Overton Radio Christmas is officially on air.
For the very first time, Overton Radio has launched a dedicated festive pop-up station, broadcasting 24 hours a day with wall-to-wall Christmas music, warm community spirit, and the unmistakable feeling that the festive season has truly begun.
Overton Radio Christmas is designed to be the perfect soundtrack for December – whether you’re putting up the tree, wrapping gifts, hosting friends, or just trying to stay sane through the shopping rush. From Bing Crosby to Mariah Carey, from Slade to Wham!, the station is promising a full sleigh-load of cheer for Overton and beyond.
Behind the scenes, the team have carefully built a playlist of more than 400 Christmas songs, covering over seven decades of festive favourites. Every track has been chosen to evoke memories, laughter, and maybe even the occasional tear. Listeners can expect the timeless hits they know and love, alongside newer releases and the odd hidden gem that hasn’t been heard in years.
You can tune in right now by visiting overtonradio.com/listen, where Overton Radio Christmas is streaming live to listeners across Overton and the surrounding area.
For those using Alexa, it’s just as easy to get festive. Simply say:
“Alexa, enable MyTuner Radio,”
and when prompted, say:
“Play Overton Radio Christmas.”
That’s all it takes to fill your home with the sound of Christmas.
The team behind Overton Radio say launching the festive station has been a long-held idea — and this year felt like the perfect moment to make it happen. After months of planning, production, and plenty of tinsel, the pop-up has officially hit the airwaves.
An official Alexa skill for Overton Radio Christmas is also in the works and expected to go live in the next couple of weeks, making it even easier for listeners to tune in.
Station co-founder Rob Francis said:
“I’ve wanted to do this for a while, and this year it finally felt right. There’s something magical about Christmas radio – it’s about comfort, nostalgia and togetherness. Whether you’re baking mince pies, driving home from work, or just want to feel a bit of seasonal warmth, Overton Radio Christmas is there for you. It’s the sound of the season, made right here in Overton.”
The station will not only feature a continuous mix of festive hits but also local voices, messages, and greetings from the community, plus guest appearances from some of Overton Radio’s regular presenters throughout December. Listeners and local businesses are being invited to send in their own Christmas messages to be played on air, helping to make the pop-up feel like a true community celebration.
Overton Radio Christmas will be broadcasting throughout the festive period, wrapping up shortly after the New Year. The aim is simple: to make every listener’s December a little brighter, a little warmer, and a lot more musical.
So pour yourself a hot chocolate, turn up the volume, and let Overton Radio Christmas provide the soundtrack to your season.
