Appleton, WI PD Laments Christmas Music Overkill

http://www.postcrescent.com/article...ith-when-and-how-much-Christmas-music-to-play

It’s a dilemma radio stations face each year. How much is too much?

“It’s a double-edged sword,” said Guy Dark, program director at WWWX-FM 96.9 The Fox and operations manager for Cumulus Media. “Some people love it... Then there are some people who think it’s a turn-off because they think it get’s over-commercialized...”


I like the lady's comment in a subsequent paragraph:

Amanda Abbott, 27, of Appleton, who’d have her Christmas decor up from the beginning of November to the end of January if not for her more sensible fiance, Nick Boesel, was having a heck of a time trying to track down a Christmas music station.

“I just think it gets everyone into the spirit,” she said. “I can understand not before Halloween, obviously, but after. It’s the next holiday.”


I wonder what calendar she's been going by for the last 27 years that didn't have Thanksgiving - or Veteran's Day, for that matter - listed as a holiday.
 
...why does it strike me as telling that a Cumulus PD (who would work under Milwaukee's Favourite John, Jeff Schmidt) would have the surname Dark?...
