Turn on to Christmas with KL XTRA

KL1 Radio, the digital local radio station for King’s Lynn and West Norfolk has brought back a brand extension for Christmas.

KL XTRA will offer a pop-up radio service to local organisations and event companies who can use its online and DAB service to own a temporary radio station for a week or a month depending on how much time they need.

Switching from it’s usual format of 60’s and 70’s Through Christmas KL XTRA moves to back-to-back festive tunes with Character Presenters including Father Christmas at Breakfast, Carol Singers in the morning and Alfie the Naughty Elf each afternoon. 

The station says it will enable shops, offices, and factories a readymade festive music outlet from their local radio station.

The music on KL XTRA for the festive period will feature classic songs, new recordings of traditional Christmas music alongside party mixes.

The service started online and on DAB today.

Programme controller Richard Dix commented “KL1 Radio continues to grow each month and we feel that launching Christmas on KL XTRA will add to our commitment to entertain and promote the best of local community and economy. A few advertising and sponsorships are available on the stations. We would love to hear from anyone planning an event in West Norfolk for 2025 and beyond and work with them to maximise their exposure with their own pop-up radio station or promotion.”
