A focused Saturday lunchtime music show built around tracks that deserve to be heard properly, Power Play brings energy and purpose to the Dundalk FM 97.7 schedule on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays of the month.
Power Play, is an dance music show on Dundalk FM 97.7, airing on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays of the month at noon and presented by Adam Heslin. The title draws on a classic radio concept, the power play, a track or a selection of tracks given special focus and prominence, elevated above the ordinary rotation and presented as something worth paying close attention to. On Dundalk FM, that spirit translates into a Saturday lunchtime show built around music that deserves to be heard properly.
Saturday lunchtime is a particular kind of listening moment. People are moving through their weekend, doing things around the house, preparing food, getting ready for the afternoon ahead. Good radio at that hour needs to fit naturally into that rhythm while still offering something worth stopping for. Power Play does exactly that, bringing a focused and energetic music programme to the middle of the Saturday schedule that holds its own in the flow of the day.
The power play format has a long history in radio programming, used by stations around the world to spotlight tracks that deserve more than a passing listen. On
Dundalk FM, it takes on the character of the station itself, community-rooted, genuine, and driven by real enthusiasm for music rather than commercial calculation. The tracks featured in the show are chosen because someone believes in them, and that belief comes through in the way the show is presented.
For listeners who tune in to Dundalk FM on a Saturday morning and carry on through into the afternoon, Power Play is a natural continuation of the day’s music programming. It sits in the schedule as a confident, purposeful hour that rewards those who give it their attention.
Power Play airs on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays of the month at noon on
Dundalk FM 97.7.
