DirecTV recently switched their music provider to Music Choice. Imagine my surprise when I found they now have a 24/7/365 all Christmas Music station. If you have DirecTV it's on Channel 858. I hate it. My Mom on the other hand loves it. Keep in mind my Mom who is in her Mid-sixties keeps the radio on WRCH continioiusly when they make their annual fip to Christmas Music every November around Thanksgiving.

Year round Christmas Music is now here
- Thread starter MarcB
- Start date
But do they keep them turned ON?
They not only keep them on but they also keep a tree decorated and lit all year.
When I ask, they say it makes them happy. Why should they only be happy in December?
doesn't SiriusXM have a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (or 366 days on leap years) Christmas music channel on their lineup either on SXM airways or online streams.
Wasn't that one of the signs that Jeff Foxworthy said you ight be a redneck?
Actually, I've seen places where people keep a tree up all year and decorate it for other holidays during the year.
Me too. Very festive for 4th of July.
We hanged white corded, icicle string type white lights along the edges of our bedroom ceiling and use those instead of ceiling or lamp lights. All the look needs now is a stripper pole.
Christmas music to me is a state of mind. Of family, home memories, things we cherish. Of a return to innocence. It's an aural comfy blankey and a cup of hot cocoa (extra marshmallow creme.)
In that sense, it's a mental refuge in an ever-increasingly scary world these days. And there are webcasters who have been doing this format year 'round and have been for a while. So it shows there is some return. Maybe not a really huge one in February, but just enough for basic survival. Somehow.
So that's why I don't think this idea was lost on the digital music casters. They've been paying attention too. And upgrading their stream deliveries as their specialty music fragmentation continues in ever more curious ways. But these days, it seems to start at the mobile app level.
