Don't blame us, but with a new month comes the reality that KEZ will soon be playing all Ho-Ho-Ho Music.🎅 If the thought of that is too much for any of you, drop by the Media Hut for a complimentary mug of hot buttered rum. It's only $5.00 and includes an 8x10 of the Old Gringo. (price is slightly higher if you don't want the photo).

Ho-Ho-Ho, A Month To Go
- Thread starter DrAkbar
- Start date
I was reading that some stations have already flipped the switch to all Christmas music as of today like WWIZ and WXMS. Seems a little early to me, although there was that one year KOOL decided to go all Christmas in the middle of October! 🙄
That's an awful lot of ho's for an Old Gringo to deal with all at once. I think I'd prefer the Ho of the Month Club from now till Xmas.
Well, there's a bunch of Santa's lady helpers down on Van Buren that could easily accommodate your request. Just be sure to have Nurse Jeff check your immunization records first!
KOOL holds the record for being out of the chimney first with All Ho-Ho-Ho music. They started Nov 2, 2018, giving 94~Five a two week advantage over 99~Nine. It didn't make any difference, in fact their ratings dropped and they never tried the stunt again.

Today I was on terminal hold for service from BestBuy and the music was all Christmas tunes.
'Tis the time to be cranky...
Home Depot moved all their Halloween decorations aside two weeks ago to put up Xmas trees and decorations. The Nurse and I believe 11/04 is the earliest start for All Ho-Ho-Ho Music on 99~Nine, KEZ.
Meanwhile at the Media Hut, we're offering Iced Buttered Rum at our drive thru window - just remember to honk before you drive thru our window!
Pull yourself away from the drive-thru at 730am on 11/4, Doc...when you hear "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas," the 99th caller WINS $2,500!!!!
THAT'S A LOT OF RICE AND BEANS.
Christmas music to return to Phoenix radio station 99.9 KEZ on Nov. 4
It’s that time of year again!

Just announced that Christmas lights will be in tomorrow in Chicago. So KEZ is not the first station in the country:

Chicago Christmas Lite Coming on - Radio Ink
93.9 LITE FM Chicago will flip on the Christmas music November 3. A two-hour commercial free kick off will be hosted by Melissa Forman, Robin Rock and Mick Lee.

One for November, one for December.
Might have to shop a bit earlier than usual this year, with all of the logistics issues out there.
At least KEZ is playing a variety of Christmas music. Imagine if they were only playing one song over & over:

AccuRadio’s One Song Radio: ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You.’
Capitalizing on the viral buzz following a Dallas bar banning the playing of “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey until Dec. 1, online radio service AccuRadio
Variety? Really?
Fairytale of New York by The Pogues w/ Kirsty MacColl - far more "mainstream" & well-known in the UK than it is stateside (to the point of being covered by contestants on 'Britain's Got Talent') - has yet to grace KEZ's festivities.
The only song that isn't Dolly Parton's "Hard Candy Christmas" that I can listen to without gagging.

The McRib was international, you know? Well, we advertised it on Mega 98.3 in Buenos Aires, but apparently you can't take the ribs out of Texas because it was replaced in a few months with a new hamburger, the McPalta. "Palta" is avocado, and the burger came with a nice mash of that green stuff we call guacamole.
I think the McRib is the Gremlin of fast foods.
The content might be too much for most AC stations, I think. Besides, the official clean version is terrible. Sounds like a bad splice job. Great song, though.
