NEW RADIO STATION CHANGES NAME FOR ONE DAY 16th January 2009
Ireland's newest radio station is to change its name for just one day on Monday. To celebrate Ireland's connection to US President Elect Barack Obama's inauguration on the 20th of January i105107, the radio station that covers the midlands and north east of Ireland, will become Obama FM in anticipation of this historical event.

On the day Obama FM will be broadcasting all day from Moneygall in Co. Offaly, the ancesteral home of Barack Obama's great-great-great-grandfather. The station's website, on-air imaging and content will all reflect the US President Elect's Inauguration on January 20th.

The i105107 Obama FM bus (pictured below) is already travelling around the region spreading the word of the big day and Pat the Baker bread makers has also got in on the fun and agreed to create a new product called Barack's brack.

i105107 Programme Director Alan Swan said the Obama bus was attracting a lot of attention: "We just thought we should do something to celebrate Barack Obama's Irish roots. It will be such a historical occasion we had to mark it some way, and we are doing it in typical iRadio fashion!"

Aimed at 15-34 year olds i105107 covers the counties of Louth, Meath, Cavan, Monaghan, Kildare, Offaly, Westmeath and North-East Laois.
