The age old question of Christmas Music...

B

BTAtlanta

WEZW began Christmas music yesterday, becoming the fourth terrestrial US station to hall out the holly. So who's doing it in Atlanta this year? Besides 104.7 The Fish, who has made it their tradition, will we see anyone else? If you'll recall, there was huge uproar (but very little downward ratings changes) for B98.5 when they limited the yuletide to every third song. Think anyone will take the opportunity and be the full-time secular Xmas station this year?

By the way, Happy early Halloween! ;-)
 
Funny, I was thinking about this today (I work for a large department store chain, so we have Christmas on our mind all year).

Why doesn't Cumulus put Christmas on one of its translators? I would think that all-Christmas would do better than Q100-20 on 97.9. I guess I could also see it on 98.9, depending on how TOC does.

If The Fan moves off of 93.7, use that.

I wouldn't expect B98.5 to play any more Christmas than they did last year, and may even play less.

WEZW, a class A FM "toilet bowl" in Cape May, NJ plays Christmas washouts from OCTOBER-DECEMBER? I am SO GLAD B98.5 stopped this nonsense of all christmas crap for two months long. Listen, if you want Christmas music, go download some from I-tunes or buy a 2-CD set (I mean HOW MANY Christmas songs are there anyway?).

It's bad enough that we already have stations that play less than 100 songs year round. No wonder people are not turning on the radio anymore. Even XM is getting ridiculous with their "one artist" stations. If people want this, use Pandora or the new Apple radio.

Atlanta stations take note: no one wants to hear the same 25 Christmas songs over and over. What works in the bustling metropolis of Cape May, NJ probably isn't going to woo in the listeners (and ad dollars) here.
