Will Mix 106.7 go All-Christmas?

Guest
Or will Mix stay with their regular Soft AC programming through the holiday season? If I remember correctly, both Warm 103 & 101 The Rose went All-Christmas last year. Will they maintain their normal format to try to steal listeners from Warm and The Rose?

Jury's still out on this one....they're still trying to locate all of the Whitney Houston, Billy Joel and James Taylor Christmas music. This way they don't have to changing their lineup. They can keep the same 3 artists in on a rotator without compromising their "mix"

In other news, mix was unable to locate jose feliciano's "feliz navidad" and will allow the soon to be named La Magazina full rights to the song.
 
According to Citadel Broadcasting, who may or may not have anything to do with Mix 106.7, the station will play a Christmas carol every 1,067th song. It will then position itself as "THE STATION THAT KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRISTMAS SPIRIT AND OVERPLAYING OUR HAND." Insiders claim that this practice, if successful, will continue beyond the holiday season. Hence, it should come as a shock to no one if local listeners are treated to Mariah Carey's full-throated assault of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" right about the time the Phillies fall out of the pennant race.

In other Yuletide radio news, WHYL-AM will parlay their strong summer book into a new fall/winter promotion. Whatever the high temperature is predicted to be on any given day, that is how far (in yards) the station's signal will travel on that day. Station management, obviously, hopes for a mild winter.

I did hear about the fall/winter promotion. I hear that other AM stations are eager for the cold temperatures....in fact, I think I recently heard "BRRRRrrrrr" bellowing from the halls of AM 910!!!!

Now for a serious response to the original question............
Considering the target of this station...older females..., and how Christmas tunes bring lots of folks into the store, they would be foolish not to. And the sooner..the better.

Ah yes, thinkingman's take on what everyone else will be doing for the cheerful upcoming holiday season. Considering the fact that there has been some "issues" at WHYL as of late, at least the station management, employees and the excellent, overworked, underpaid onsite engineer, who is doing one hell of a job with the materials that are available, have the balls to move onward and upward as they take the great journey that so many of you have found yourselves in as you muddle thru this business you call "broadcasting" That is more then the snowballs, which apparently have melted, off the frosty chap whom this post is in response to. I dare to wonder, if there is a dusty resume sitting in a box at WHYL that never made it to the "lets give this one a call and see what he/she is all about" file, and that is the reason for posion which spues from within a man/woman who can not help but gloat when those who are in a business they love, unable to control the forces who have the fingers on the expense accounts, stumble in the hallways of broadcasting.
What goes around, always comes around. The beauty of it in this business is, you never freaking know when it's going to hit you.
Have a safe and happy holiday, and oh yes, for the record. Holiday music is one of the highest TSL formats in the USA.

Wow, you are just plain mean. The people at Citadel Harrisburg and at WHYL are in a business that they love, doing everything they can with what they are given to do best they can at what they love. If you cannot accept that, that shows what kind of man you are (or lack thereof). If they do not do as well as you, who cares. You should be glad about it, and sit down and shut up. Based on your bitterness, if I was still in Harrisburg, I'd rather be in last place with good people than at the top with you.

Always displace the blame on to someone else. I blame IBOC bleed from 950 in Philly....and flourescent lightbulbs.<P ID="signature">______________

There's no crying in radio, dude. When the jokes flew fast and furious about Cool Pop, I didn't hear you whining about people being mean. Take a deep breath, realize that jokes will be jokes, and let us all join hands and enjoy the fine Christmas music on Mix 106.7!

Tom Hanks says, "Thank you."

Yes, you are right. A majority of them were people who WORKED THERE.

Now THAT is a funny joke.


*Wow, calling me a whiner! Nice! I must have struck a nerve.

You'll strike oil before you strike a nerve with comebacks like that. All I need to do to prove you're a whiner is reference your post from May 4, 2005 entitled "I am ending this now!" It's on Page #9, for ease of finding. The last line is absolutely precious ("End of discussion.") but the authoritative tone rings hollow, akin to that of an assistant manager at Taco Bell.

Well, I don't want to do anything as offensive as, say, talk about State College radio on the "Central PA" board; I just want to toss a little smack, sports-bar style. If you can't spar, then don't try.

So put the bullet back in your shirt pocket, Barney, set your Star Trek phaser back to "stun" and go back to cross-indexing your DVD anime collection while enjoying the smooth sounds of the holidays on Mix 106.7, playing the best hits of the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and today!
 
Go sell something, hot shot.

If MIX goes Christmas, I'm replacing our (WWEC) college radio format with soft rock for the duration of the holiday season to satisfy the soft rock needs of Central PA. Unfortunately, that'll only work for people within 10 miles of our station; outside of that, you'll miss out.
