With six months to go before Christmas, Radio Exe has relaunched Radio ExeMas, playing non-stop festive songs.

Last year, the Christmas station went on air at the end of August.
Radio Exe’s Breakfast host, Matt Rogers celebrated this year’s early launch by interviewing Father Christmas live from Crealy on his show.
Matt said: “For people who say Christmas seems to start earlier every year, they’re right!
“We wanted to be at the top of Santa’s nice list by bringing festive cheer to Devon, and now people can get their fix of Mariah, Wizzard and Wham by tuning to Radio ExeMas. Feliz Navidad!”
Listeners have been given a chance to win a luxury lodge break at Crealy Theme Park and Resort, complete with presents from Santa and a Christmas dinner.
Jodie Hodgkins, marketing manager at Crealy Theme Park and Resort said: “Christmas at Crealy is one of the highlights of many families’ calendars, so to tie in with half-Christmas, we’ve opened our bookings for the festive season and were honoured that Santa could spare time to join on air this morning.”
Radio ExeMas can be heard on digital radio across much of Devon on the Exeter, Torbay/Teignbridge and Plymouth areas, as well as being streamed on its own website, www.radioexemas.co.uk, plus on the Radio Exe app. […]
