All-Christmas' effect

[eGillCVI]

<blockquote>Rob Thomas' "Lonely No More" soared from No. 13 to reclaim the No. 1 spot on the Adult Contemporary airplay chart from Kimberly Locke's "Up on the Housetop," which dropped off the chart following the end of the holiday season.</blockquote>

It completely dropped off the chart! Must be a whole lot of stations doing the Christmas flip nowadays.

* Any tally of how many stations did it?
* We know the earliest was Oct. 18 right over there in Atlantic City... But which station took the longest to dump the all-Christmas format?

Most dumped on the 26th.....no one in Philly, LV, or Jersey was playing all holiday tunes past the 26th. Ratings come out this week for Philly so we'll see how well B did with Christmas. Sunny will probably not fare so well..
