Holiday Music Stations

[DaytonRadio]

Greetings all, I am new to the area and I was wondering if any other stations in the Mobile-Pensacola area, besides the obvious Lite Mix 99.9 and Soft Rock 94.1, can be expected to go all christmas.

Like it or not, this yearly tradition is fast approaching ;-)<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by DaytonRadio on 10/19/05 06:39 PM.</FONT></P>

I'm not sure about down there but come to Birmingham. Magic 96.5 played a full weekend of it in June or July and will pick back up around Thanksgiving. I saw a Christmas commericail the other day. What in the hell happend to Halloween? Did I somehow miss it for the tenth straight year?

Re: Holiday Music Stations in Mobile

WPCS 89.5 does the Christmas thing, but they're a Christian non-com, so they probably don't count. Also, Cumulus should be looking to change formats on 104.1 or 100.7 about now... Stunting with Christmas music would be a good move.

I am pretty sure that some of the rock stations, most likely WRAX, will do something with Halloween. Halloween is probably too scary for lite stations. But I don't listen to those stations.

I just hate the Christmas music crap that plays every year. I like Halloween a lot more even though I don't dress up. I guess the only chance of anything dealing with Halloween in my lame Guntersville listening area this year is 106.1 WTAK. Last year I had 107.7 WRAX with Coyote J's Edge show but they're not here anymore. Of course, WTAK's Halloween stuff (if they do any at all) is going to be lame but what can I do besides going to satellite radio? Even then, satellite radio is too expensive after you get all the equipment you need.

So your best bet (if you can't pick up any stations doing Halloween stuff) is get a Halloween cd with cool spooky sounds/music. Play it and pretend it's a radio station. That's what I do now with regular cds.

They should be forced to turn over their FCC license for that.
I still rate WMJJ as the worst radio station on Earth. Why does
this station NEVER change?

Are there any markets other than Dothan that DON'T have a station that goes all Christmas? It's interesting that with the success other stations have had with this move that the Light AC station (WOOF) hasn't thrown their big red hat in the sleigh yet.
