Spirit 105.3 - The X-Mas Tease
- Thread starter crainbebo
- Start date
I guess it's because not many religious singers make Halloween records (unless its to scare religious parents about it.)
Hopefully KISW plays some Dio during this holiday season.
"Crista: Teasing You Since 2007!"
I think KRWM began their "All-Christmas" stuff around 2001 after the 9/11 attacks - I've heard many ACs went to all Christmas during December that year due to the after effects of the 9/11 attacks...they needed peace and joy, not just more news about missing people at WTC and threats of terrorism. And every year since it's been earlier and earlier. I bet you Warm 106.9 will begin Christmas on November 14th or 21st.

What's the typical ratings uptick for Spirit 105.3 during the holiday season?
KCMS gets a nice bump every year (usually 2-3 points.) KRWM usually begins their Holiday format the Friday before Thanksgiving (in 2010, they began a week earlier than that when KJR-FM started a Holiday format prior to launching into their "Oldies 95.7" phase.) But since Thanksgiving is later this year, they could start on the 14th. We'll see.
Most AC's seem to flip to some sort of all christmas format for the holidays. I've heard that christmas programming is beneficial to the cume, but not to much long standing listeners. Hopefully KPLZ sticks with their usual format to provide some contrast to KWRM.

I would imagine if they're already getting people begging for the Christmas format, I'd say sooner than later. After all, aren't two spectacular ratings months better than one?
Ah, yes. Who remembers Carman's "A Witches Invitation?"

Oh yeah, that's one. There was another far-out guy named Mike Warnke who made a few million being neurotic about the devil. He actually made books, videotapes and records about him being some high end Satanic priest before he found Jesus. Those records make great "I Can't Believe They Actually Made That" tracks for any Halloween show.

I don't remember that one... but it sounds like something Carman would do.
