Welcome to Radio Cracker, Ballymena's Only Charity Radio Station
Once again, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are unable to host a live radio station this year but, like last year, we will broadcast new, pre-recorded shows online, hosted by some of our presenters, and we are still accepting donations which will be distributed to selected charitable causes in the developing world. 2021 will also see us once again sharing picture verses and quotations for you to share with your friends in place of our traditional Thought for the Day.
Listen to All 2021 Radio Cracker Shows
We are also hoping to bring a bit of festive cheer to the town centre by playing music over our existing speakers in the run-up to Christmas.
Please watch our Facebook page and website for details.
We're thrilled once again to be sponsored by D Robinson and Son and grateful to McKillens for giving us some space to setup a recording studio and we would encourage you to once again support local businesses with your Christmas shopping.
We thank everyone for their continued support in these challenging times.
Stay Safe & we hope to be back on air in 2022.
