How many Christmas stations?

How many stations in your market have gone to an all-Christmas music format?

In Cleveland Ohio there are three, all on FM. WFHM "The Fish" (Salem), WDOK (CBS), WMVX (Clear Channel).
How many would it take to spread the listenership so thin, that the ratings would suffer on one, some or all of them?

Charlotte, NC has WLYT, WKQC and WRCM. Interestingly, WRCM is Christian the rest of the year but they play secular music at Christmas--even the "Peanuts" songs.

Oh, yeah, WYFQ is probably all-Christmas, but it's not all music. WYFQ is very traditional.

WLYT used to be the call letters of a Top 40 station in Cleveland at 92.3 FM. Want some mild radio fun... Think of call letters in your market that are no longer there. Then go to the radio-locator site, and type them in and see where those call letters landed, if at all.

In Grand Rapids MI, we have at least two stations that have gone to all-Christmas: WSRW (formerly WOOD) 105.7, and WTRV 100.5. (Both of those are AC and are the only two mainstream AC stations in the market.) I don't listen enough to the Christian stations, however, to know whether their music is all-Christmas this time of year or not.

In Columbus we have WLZT 93.3, WSNY 94.7, WCVO 104.9 and WMNI 920am. Isn't that more than enough.

Now that the initial PPM numbers are out, it shows a huge boost to AC stations that went all-Christmas, with many like WLIT, WLTW and KOST even landing at #1 in their respective markets. Methinks that more stations will jump on the bandwagon next year and may do it even sooner.
