KRWM Holiday Format: A Week of Listening

Bongwater

Bongwater

Some people couldn't do this without writing a suicide note, but I spent a whole week listening to KRWM 106.9's holiday format. Mostly in my office (where my employees asked me to play. Unlike some employers, I take a hint.) And in these tough times, any way I can help that's cost effective and well...worth it is a flat out go.

And I'm actually IMPRESSED.

The selection has DRAMATICALLY improved since their beginnings in fall of 2001. And the diversity of selections is remarkable. You hear the usual holiday standards, as well as the contemporary pop stuff. But you can also find a lot of indie and local Christmas cuts as well as some jazz and brief classical selections, not enough to outright scare KPLU or KING-FM, but enough to give them pause, on 106.9 MHz. Even some country Christmas cuts have been thrown in. And surprisingly good ones "That's What I Want For Christmas" SHEdaisy (my wife's favorite) is shockingly jazzy (how many country songs do you know have a vibraphone?) - Pardon me. SMOOTH enough for airplay down the Sandusky hall at KWJZ.....

And you're talking to a guy who once HATED Christmas music. Guess kids change everything......

I've listened to Christmas formatted stations around this time from all the ones online at least, but in a shockingly unusual display of actual ADMIRATION for a COMMERCIAL Puget Sound AC radio station, I will give this to KRWM: They are the BEST in America in the Holiday format.

Period.

So congrats to KRWM. Keep up the good work.....

(Yes, hell has now officially frozen over. Break out your ice skates.....)

Cheers!
 
Nothing wrong with giving credit where credit is due. The presentation on Warm for Xmas is very good. Sandusky does some things very well. Then there's 92.5.
 
BW, being up in Bellingham, does "Praise" have billboards emphasizing its holiday message? We have some for "Spirit" down here in ole' Seattle.

I do kind of enjoy contemporary Christian this time of year only because the tunes get some variety. I've listened a little to both 106.5 and 105.3, but I'd tend to believe that 106.9 is better. I never get a chance until "Delilah" time and if I understand how things go with her show - it's all sent down on the "bird."

For those of you thinking Delilah does her show from Warm, you're wrong. She actually has a complex in her home in the Skagit Valley.
 
I could be wrong, but my understanding is that her show originates in West Seattle,
just north of the X of Fauntleroy and California streets. She may also be set with a mic to go in Mount Vernon. I'm pretty sure her main home is in the south Seattle area?

Yup. And newspaper ads too.

Delilah has property EVERYWHERE I hear. Not sure if in the Skagit Valley but somebody said they saw her once at the Mount Vernon Red Apple market. Unless she's really good at astral projection. I kinda doubt it...
 
Don't know if they've been reading this and knowing I've spent some time Down Under, but the one-off spin of "Six White Boomers" Rolf Harris this morning was a VERY unusual....and COOL touch. Haven't heard that one since I left Penrith!
