On Thursday 8 December 2016, children will take over the ARA City Airwaves to raise funds for Luxembourg’s Cancer Foundation.

After the success and fun of last year’s take over, the ARA City team have decided to once again let the children co-host the Breakfast show, all in the name of charity. “We were worried about listeners’ ears bleeding with the choice of music, but in the end everyone was really positive about the shows, so we are going with it again, they kept us on our toes all morning, that was for sure” said Sam Steen, the Breakfast show host.

Every year Ara City Radio comes up with something a little bit different to raise funds for Luxembourg’s Cancer Foundation. To date there have been some silly charity songs featuring bad lyrics and worse singing, a charity music quiz, and the No Such Thing as a Free Lunch Soup Kitchen but, according to the ARA team, this is the best Christmas event.

The ARA City team will share their air time with children and are selling off half-hour time slots in return for a donation. The Kids’ Christmas Take Over Show will take place from 07:00 - 09:30 on Thursday 8 December. Participants will be co-hosting the show with Sam and Mark and will choose the music, introduce the songs, be interviewed on-air and will be able to send special holiday wishes to their friends, classmates and family. A repeat of the show will be broadcast on Christmas day and each child will receive a recording of their slot.

Places are limited due to time restrictions, so best get in quick to book a fun Christmas experience for your child. Slots are being offered for a donation of €100.
