Christmas has arrived on Seattle Radio
- Thread starter DMK
- Start date
Surprised it took this long. Who's Next? Spirit? Star? (the) Sound?
They may change later. It's still pretty early and not everyone keeps the same schedule.
Your mom knows Kent Phillips?

They're changing on Friday the 30th.
Yep, KSWD flipped to Christmas. Ho-ho-overload for god's sake. This and 106.9 and 106.5 and 105.3 and 101.5...I hope JACK, KZOK and others get a nice little bump in the ratings! I didn't mind when it was just 106.9 and 105.3!
Here in Yakima, KARY-100.9 (Cherry FM) is now 24/7 Christmas.

That is slicing the soccer-mom demo pretty thin. But if the advertisers are all willing to pay more for the sentimental Santa-and-snow schmaltz and Jesus-lite that is Christmas music than they are for normal programming, don't look for any improvement in the situation, or much of a bump for the non-holiday stations.
2019 is gearing up to be an absolutely merciless pillow fight between 94.1 and 106.9.
The Geneva Conventions simply do not apply here. As witnessed in the silky soft K-Lite/K-SEA/Magic 108 Battle of 1989, nothing is off limits in this. Not even Barry Manilow. Or Melissa Manchester.
The survivors of that battle, while physically perfectly fine, have developed keen sensing levels of Snuggie comfort and yearnings for milk and homemade cookies.
War is hell.

I wish, maybe that would improve my odds of getting a job in this industry. As for KSWD, that will be interesting to see how these stations react to one another. I expected KSWD to be running Christmas Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings since Delilah usually switches Thanksgiving night, but regular programming during the day. That means I've programmed my radio right, as the entire second half of my presets except KXXO is all Christmas.
Don't offer so much info about your mom on a board like this, Bob. Unless you want "Bob's mom" to become the next "Kokomo" joke (you already got Rob started...)
I think KRWM will come out with the usual holiday win. But the way The Sound is destroying the normal format of 106.9 makes me lolololololololol......I mean come on! It isn't every day that a soft AC station beats out the 20 year+ dominant beast.
I wonder how KSWD's ratings would be WITHOUT holiday music? Worse, I presume.
