In a post on another board, it was suggested that stations flipping to 24/7 Christmas formats today would probably do so at 5 PM local time. So hang in there, it may still happen on KVIL...

"White Christmas" by Bing played on KXEZ yesterday
> its November 1st and no christmas music on KVIL.
Yeah, I know.
Sad, isn't it?
Oldiez 92.1 KXEZ played "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby yesterday at 5:26 p.m., then "Summer is Fun" by Bruce and Terry (the Beach Boys hit), and then "The Monster Mash"
Quite a set
Quite a segue

The board must be slow if everyone is wondering about Christmas Music already. KVIL will probably start it the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

At least Sunny 97.1 won't be around to invade the metroplex with Christmas music way too early. (Christmas music is great...but not the day after Halloween) I can't remember if KVIL started playing Christmas music at the same time Sunny did or not.

They started a few days after Sunny did. It was on Veteran's day( Nov.11). I agree with another post,wait until 5pm to see if it starts.

lets see its 11:40 pm and I guess they didn't start playing Christmas music because no one has posted anything here...did they? I wouldn't know because I'm in college up in Lubbock now so I can't get KVIL here. I'm just wondering.

Apparently not. I still maintain Veteran's day is the start date,and if I am wrong,Oh darn. Perhaps KVIL is starting to come to their senses about the early start burn outs.

I knew that Sunny was KVIL's competition last year, but obviously not anymore. Are there any other Christmas competitors? If not, then there is no need for them to worry about being beat to the punch with the holiday music and then they will start on a more reasonable date. <P ID="signature">______________

Here's my 2 cents:
Unreasonable date - Friday 11/4 @ 5pm - Rationale - "Great" way to kick off the weekend.
Reasonable date - December 24th @ 6pm

Yesterday (November 1st), WNIC Detroit, as well as WQFM and WFEZ, both in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, went all-Christmas, and today (November 2nd), KOSY in Salt Lake City followed suit.
I am surprised----in fact, stunned----that more stations didn't go all-Christmas yesterday; I actually thought that a hundred stations around the country would have done so yesterday with fifty others by the end of the week. I beliveed that this year, a lot of broadcasters would start all-Christmas formats quite early compared to prior years. And I thought it would mean many flips on November 1st and the days immediately thereafter.
But perhaps in the next day or two, KVIL-103.7 may indeed take the plunge.
Had KEGL-97.1 still had it's short-lived "Sunny" AC format, I think both would have gone all-Christmas yesterday morning within minutes of each other.

We might(I said MIGHT) be seeing a a trend back to a more normal starting point for holiday music. Remember the holiday music early starts were in response to 911. There was a public backlash in some areas to the early start last year,just like the yearly backlashes about stores putting up Christmas displays in October. If KVIL doesn't go all Christmas by Nov.11 then it may hold off until Thanksgiving(thank God).

I suppose it depends on how you define competition. While it’s an NCE station, KEOM does spin 24/7 holiday music but not until around mid December. It’ll be a 25% mix starting on Friday after Thanksgiving, and gradually increase as the weeks go by. Yeah I know many of you don’t consider an NCE as competition.
