Pamela Carragher / Presenter

Pamela Carragher joined Dundalk FM 97.7 in October 2022 with a very clear idea of what she wanted to do: bring the freshest new music in the charts to listeners who want to understand not just what is new, but who is behind it, why it matters right now, and where it came from.

Her show, Pop Stop, is built around new music in a way that most radio programmes are not designed for. Pamela does not just queue up the tracks; she finds the artists in the act of promoting their work, monitoring TikTok and social media to catch the moment when a song is first finding its audience. She brings background on the music itself, keeps a sharp eye on Irish artists making waves internationally, and gives listeners the feeling of genuine discovery rather than just a polished playlist.

Pamela represents a new generation of radio presenter: digitally fluent, passionately music-obsessed, and genuinely excited by the act of discovery. She understands that the best contemporary pop is not just entertainment but a cultural conversation happening in real time, and Pop Stop is her way of keeping that conversation current and connected for listeners in Dundalk.

She is proof that a community radio station in Dundalk can produce programming with reach and relevance well beyond the 97.7 frequency, and that the right person with the right show can build an international audience from a studio in the heart of this town.
