Christmas Music

[Wimmmex]

When country stations go all-Christmas for Christmas Eve and Day, they usually mix country artists and more traditional Christmas songs.

Unless they were changing format afterwards. ;-)

101.7 flipped to all Christmas this morning, sometime between 5:50 and 9:30.

But their website says "Get your fix of country Christmas hits starting Friday @ 10am!”—?

101.7's sister station in Hartford Country 92.5 flipped at 12 Noon today. They're doing 36 hours of Christmas Music and they are mixing traditional Christmas Music in with Country Versions. Side note. Also in Hartford i-Heart's Variety Hits 105.9 The River flipped today as well. So now we're up to 3 Christmas stations in Hartford. WTIC 1080 usually flips at Noon on Christmas Eve, but they are carrying both The New England Patriots Game and probably The New York Giants football game as well. (WTIC carries both teams).

What happens when your webmaster doesn't read the memo carefully. Whoops!

I was looking at the online playlist and it showed regular country songs overnight yesterday, but that was actually because it was used as filler music for the online stream and nothing else.

The only Christmas music that matters is about to start on WGBH at 6pm-midnight

Translation: Oedipus is on WGBH 89.7 doing his thing.

The new boss (Entercom) is same as the old one (Beasley) at WMJX 106.7--as the reg. signal goes back to adult contemp., the HD2 has reverted to all Christmas. Well it still is the holiday season.

I wouldn't really expect much changes there at all. I mean if it isn't broke then why fix it?

Now that Christmas is over, lets talk about stations that have STOPPED playing Christmas music. It seems like WMJX is still sprinkling some Christmas tunes in, WWLI is still all-Christmas, and all other stations have stopped completely.

Thanks for all the nice Christmas music.
Back in 11 months or so.

 

[raccoonradio]

You can still enjoy it on WMJX HD2

I wonder if WWLI plans to do this all week ?

From what I remember WWLI usually does this until the first of Jan or so.

Vahey brings up a good point on FB--next yr Beasley could flip ROR to Christmas while Ent does same to MJX.Revival of dual Yule stations, like ODS vs ROR or Magic.Add to that iHR's WSRS and The Bull 101.7 (but only just before holiday).
One year the dual Yule stations debuted quickly one after another on Nov 8.

Can I get a link to the post in question?

 

[freqlost]

WWLI is now done with Christmas music.

Don't know if I can directly link to Kevin's FB post but his timeline is https://www.facebook.com/Fenway1912 and the post was made on Dec 27. He had a pic of the ratings list and wrote:

:Magic 106.7 cashes in with Christmas music again but I have to think that under the ownership swaps that WROR will flip next year.

 

[MikaelaArsenault]

Have any New England stations flipped to Christmas music yet?

Not that I am aware of. WMJX, WSRS, WWLI and WHOM for sure haven’t flipped.
