IIRC B98.5 gets a big ratings pop with the Christmas format, and The Fish will go Christmas, too.
Now here's an idea--could Cumulus get in the mix with one of their translators? Alternatively, going Christmas for a month is a great way to blow up a station that's going to flip to another format anyway, provided you don't step in it like CC did with The Bull and flip to the new format a week before the big day.
(Q100 will not be affected.)
Since changes are obviously afoot at Cumulus, I could see Cumulus beating everyone to the punch--flipping well before Thanksgiving, but after Halloween--and putting Christmas on 106.7, 100.5, or 97.9 as a segue to another format after the holidays. If Christmas lands on 97.9, it means that Journey just got a promotion to one of the real signals, maybe after a holiday break.
