A varied and unpredictable Saturday afternoon mix of carefully chosen music across genres and decades, The Selection Box brings welcome surprise and great taste to Dundalk FM 97.7 on the fourth Saturday of the month.
The Selection Box is a Saturday afternoon music show on Dundalk FM 97.7, airing on the fourth Saturday of the month at 1pm. The name says it all. Just like a good selection box, the show is a mix of different things, each one chosen with care, and the pleasure is in not quite knowing what is coming next.
There is a particular kind of radio show that does not lock itself into a single genre, decade, or mood, but instead moves freely across the full range of music, following the logic of good taste and personal enthusiasm rather than any strict format. The Selection Box is that kind of show. It is a programme for listeners who enjoy being surprised, who trust the presenter to take them somewhere unexpected and bring them back having heard something they did not know they needed.
Saturday afternoon is the right time for this kind of programming. The weekend is in full flow, the pressure of the week is behind you, and there is space to simply sit and listen. The Selection Box fills that space with music that has been genuinely chosen rather than algorithmically assembled, and that difference matters. Every track earns its place. Every choice reflects a real person’s relationship with music and a genuine desire to share something worth hearing.
As part of the
Dundalk FM Saturday schedule, the show adds variety and unpredictability to an afternoon that already offers a strong range of specialist music programming. Where other shows are defined by their genre focus, The Selection Box is defined by its openness, and that makes it a valuable and distinctive part of the station’s output.
The Selection Box airs on the fourth Saturday of the month at 1pm on
Dundalk FM 97.7. Check the schedule for exact broadcast times.
