SRS Has Gone Christmas
- Thread starter valleyradiodx
- Start date
I doubt it, just saying...
Occurred yesterday at 5 PM.
Looks like the last "regular" song was Like A Prayer by Madonna yesterday at 4:58pm.
First Christmas song was Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer by Gene Autry with The Pinafores at 5:07pm.
Their Facebook page says that Zito and Suzanne flipped the switch. Suzanne, if I'm not mistaken, has been out for all or most of the last 2 weeks.

Wrong. The 1st Christmas song was Carol Of The Bells by David Foster. It isn't listed on the site.
I believe so, by one day.
Last year, WSRS flipped on November 5th, one of some 80 I-Heart owned stations around the country to do so that day.
In both cases, it was the first Friday of November.
As far as I'm aware, this makes WSRS the first radio station in New England to go all-Christmas this year.
I am, however, surprised that there wasn't a wave of Christmas flips here and nationally this past Tuesday, November 1st.
Although WSRS-96.1's signal does penetrate into metropolitan Boston, I don't think this move would impact plans of WMJX-106.7 (and maybe even WROR-105.7?) to go all-Christmas.
Despite the huge signal area of WSRS, Worcester and Boston are separate radio markets, even though they are part of the same television market.
Didn't someone suggest in one of these many Christmas threads that some stations might want to postpone the merry music until the malevolent political ads have been removed for another two years?
WSRS is a Worcester station. Whatever minimal audience it has in "Boston" (the market) is largely in MetroWest. You're right. WMJX has no reason to be watching what WSRS does. And WROR is not going Christmas, despite the speculation that always pops up here annually.
