Christmas 2006 is coming

This weekend (July 29-30), WLTM Atlanta was playing Christmas music mixed in with it's regular playlist. I suspected a "Christmas in July" stunt. Are there any other stations in the country doing this?

Question now is when the all-Christmas calvelcade will begin. One station in Kansas last year started in early August.

Here in Atlanta WLTM, WSB-FM, and Salem Christian "Fish" WFSH have waited until the week of Thanksgiving to start their stunts (WLTM on Monday, WFSH Wednesday, WSB-FM Friday). Since WSB-FM sister WSRV (Classic Hits "97.1 the River", formerly WFOX) came on board and became a ratings darling (killing off WLTM and WSB-FM's ratings), I wonder if the ATL could be singing Jingle Bells as early as Halloween. I recall that WNIC Detroit and an Urban station in New Jersey(?) started their all-Christmas stunts around Halloween.

Will these stations show restraint this year, or will we be singing "Deck The Halls" on the beach this Labor Day weekend?
 
Ben FM will probably just mix in some holiday music like last year.

If B101 has no competition, they will probably considerably cut down on the Santa tunes.
 
A station in New Jersey flipped on October 17th. I don't know how that worked out for them. The earliest stations to flip will likely flip November 1st. That would include WNIC in Detroit, KOSY in Salt Lake City, and others.
 
Wpez in Macon will be doing it soon.Their already calling themselves the holiday music channel they just haven't put a date on it yet.Once they do there will be two Christmas Music Stations in Macon Wpch and Wpez.
 
AC KUDL in KC flipped Nov 1 - crosstown KCKC went this past weekend with little fanfare. Think it may be too late for them to even come to the party
