SLEIGH BELLS RING-A-LING, TING-TING-TING-A-LING, TOO!!!

Q

quadraphonic

Y102.9 is doing Christmas music as of thirty minutes ago, probably before.
They didn't mention it being a special weekend edition, but I didn't listen long. I hit some stores and got some gifts to get it out of the way!

Happy Holidays is a comin' up! If we can make it through the anticipation first....

By "anticipation" I meant more like "build-up."
 
I heard some of it this morning...They were calling it "Weekend Shopping Music" (or something like that) ::)

LET THE HOLIDAYS BEGIN!! :)
 
Sounds like MIX is playing some too...Wonder who will be first to go all Christmas?

Also, in G'boro, Delilah seems to have started cranking out the Christmas version of her show on WMAG. So it looks like a toss-up between WMAG, Mix, and Y102.9 as to who will go all-Christmas first. I am still hoping Mix is the official Christmas station since they have the streaming advantage over Y102.9.
 
I hear there may be Christmas MAJIC Wednesday at noon.

Well, you should know, or are you just starting a rumor...you're prone to do that, you know. Will Tom be programming the Christmas music?
 
How many stations do we really need playing Christmas music for 2 months? ::)

A couple songs per hour would do the trick I would think.

After a few weeks of the music and by the time Christmas day is here, everyone is sick of it. :eek:

Well...there is an audience for it. My wife plays Christmas music from about September 'til February, so everyone but her is sick of it. ;)

Personally, I get sick of it, not because it's Christmas music, but because the playlists are so dang tight and/or repetitive (like Groundhog Day). I mean, by the end of Hanukkah, I'm about ready to shoot down Snoopy AND the Red Baron, Step OUT of Christmas, and start a New War, so Paul McCartney, Elton John, and whoever that is stops singing. And I'm not going to tip The Waitresses for their "Christmas Wrapping" either. :p

Perhaps I should go into consulting...
 
It sounds like you've listened to radio (at least at Christmastime) in the last 15 years, so you'd make a terrible consultant, Stephen. ;)

Here's a good Christmas song for you: The "Twelve Pains of Christmas" by the Bob Rivers gang...

as of 3:00 Majic 94 was still playing their wide spread version of Oldies ..... is Uptown Girl an Oldie???? If so I'm ancient.

Maybe Majic, like many other oldies stations, has extended its playlist to include songs from the '60s, '70s, and '80s...

...see, one of my jobs at church during the Christmas season was to make the multifunction lights steady. I couldn't do it without thinking "NOW WHY THE HELL ARE THEY BLINKING?!?" ;D

They were playing songs from the mid-80s from the very start. And "Uptown Girl" has always fit the format. Standards has been playing new songs that sound old for years.

If you want to argue what oldies is, consider: when Oldies 93 became an oldies station, songs from 1970 were the same age as songs from 1987 are now.
