Athlone Community Radio Gears Up for May Music Marathon
We are excited to announce our May Music Marathon Broadcast, taking place on Saturday, 31st May from 7am to 7pm. This special 12-hour event is a celebration of music, community, and the power of local radio. It will include an outside broadcast featuring live performances by talented local musicians.
The May Music Marathon aims to support our ongoing development as a vital platform for local voices, creativity, and connection. Broadcasting from the heart of the town, the station continues to provide opportunities for community members to tell their stories, showcase local talent, and stay informed and entertained.

As part of the fundraiser, listeners and supporters are invited to make a donation via the station’s GoFundMe page: www.gofundme.com/acrdonate.

The event also offers sponsorship opportunities for local businesses:
• A 15-minute on-air slot includes 2 business mentions for just €30.
