WARM and WROZ flip today

WARM and ROZ flipped within minutes of each other like last year, but they're in good company, apparently, so did B101 in Philly, and Jerry Lee's no fool. I wonder about Mix 106.7? I'd think they'd stick to their thing, even tilt it a bit, mixing in some Christmas tunes. Opinions?
 
I noticed that while streaming 101.3. I love Christmas music, but it is a bit too soon, in my opinion. I would prefer that they mix the Christmas music in gradually, at least until after Thanksgiving. That way, we wouldn't all tire of it so quickly...
 
I wonder how the all Xmas tunes are going to work out. There are a lot of places to get 24 hour Christmas music these days..

I never "got it" but, I know a lot of people that get really happy when the Christmas songs come back.

So, who was first to flip? My guess - WARM.

The idea of early all-Christmas music started after 9/11, in order to aurally distract listeners from the non-stop coverage of that tragic day and boost spirits. Turns out it was a cash cow, so many stations do it to this day.

Rob, this must be the stuff of "Urban Legend." One of our AC FMs began the All-Christmas thing in 2000 and we were far from being the first. As I recall, the tactic nationally dates well back into the nineties.
 
I miss the old days when we'd all go crazy on this board speculating about what format they were going to flip too after the holidays...



Good times....
