I'm sure everyone will agree that Sunny will be the first. Will they begin earlier? I check the station today and have heard no X-mas music...so far.
It might be a better discussion to guess the date when Sunny will begin the Christmas fest, since it is nearly a safe assumption that they'll be first. (Too early for my liking, always.)
For several years, until last year, the Sunny Christmas soiree began at 5 p.m., the Friday of the second-full week of November (usually on or around Nov. 15th.) Last year, I figured it would begin, then, and was dead-set ready to kick my radio to a different station, but the Christmas love-fest didn't begin until the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
With Thanksgiving falling later, this year, my guess is that the Christmas music will not wait until the 26th to start. (The 24/7 Christmas is too kind to KODA). I figure Sunny's Christmas tribute will begin the weekend of the 21st. I'll say Marc's afternoon show, Nov. 21st at 5 p.m.
I'd love to see a much wider variety of Christmas music on all of the stations, if I'm to be subjected to that much of it. If I recall, Marc mentioned in an article with the Chronicle, last year, that they had around 800 songs in their 2007 Christmas playlist. If that's the case, that'd be more than the 580 or so songs in the station's normal playlist, now. Maybe Christmas will bring more "variety" to Sunny. It's been sad, lately, for sure.
