I wonder how many other stations might follow suit;
I have read on the trade sites of various stations playing holiday favorites, for example Entercom's KEZK-FM St. Louis.
Momentum's KVMI-AM-1270 Tulare, CA + 97.5 K248BX Visalia starts Sat. 3/21/2020
including a "Decorate Your House" contest:

Bah humbug.
Watch for a particular station that sounds like 'Coast', about 100 miles N of San Diego to start playing around with Bing & Mariah & Burl.
Followed by some Seattle FM station that's just below 107mhz.
And then a New York FM station that's in between 106 and 107mhz.

And if it brings comfort to people in the worst crisis of their lifetimes, what's wrong with that? I saw online that some people are re-decorating their homes for Christmas, simply because it comforts them and brings them cheer. God bless 'em.

I agree. I would encourage any station that doesn't know what to do with their programming to consider playing Christmas music for a while. Then maybe it would draw some attention, and then launch a new format when the economy rebounds.

I think it's badass what KYXY is doing more power to them.
