"B101.1 has a holly, jolly announcement for you this morning at 9:00 AM!"
- Thread starter Miguelito
- Start date
Probably flipping to Alt 101.1!
I hate announcements like this. Its like... yeah, we already know. Why kid it up?
The listeners enjoy the annual moment of fanfare (even if they are already listening to WJBR, and have been for a week). By this point in the year, they've typically spent weeks on the socials asking B101 to flip.
Oh. My. Wow, what a surprise. B101.1 now playing Christmas music, who saw that coming?! Jeez.
A Dennis the Menace comic caption might be on-topic here.
He and his little pal Joey are in some big store. Dennis points out, 'Look, Joey -- Christmas decorations! That means it's almost time for Thanksgiving!'
(I worked at the place when it was Eazy 101. Back then, the station started adding more and more Holiday music as the 25th arrived, but only began it a week or so before it all. The music was off ten-inch reels. Half the songs seemed to be by the Mannheim Steamroller, which I came to like, lol. But Jerry Lee owned the place and, back then, figured that wit is the brevity of soul, or however the saying went. But under his piloting, the time to become jolly got earlier as the years went by.)

Always pushing that trans Siberian stuff on the kids, it's time for Desantis Claus to add wbeb to his naughty list.
In case you weren’t listening to B101 and don’t know KYW and WOGL promoted the switch on their social media this morning and I’m already hearing brief promo spots on KYW. Loved this comment on KYW’s FB post “If they can play Christmas music, you can bring back the teletype for the holidays 🎄🎄🎄”

Correct me if I’m wrong as I don’t have any data in front of me but anecdotally speaking I found WOGL’s Christmas playlist to be much narrower and more repetitive than B101’s.
Audacy is not giving up WBEB. Christmas music will never be played on 98.1 again

first time I think, the only game in town, over a 15.0 for sure.
Probably. but it also skewed older, which I prefer.
