Christmas In September

[David]

Over the years I've been posting here, I've said several times that radio stations would eventually start flipping to Christmas music 24/7 shortly after Labor Day. This time it looks like I wasn't too far off the mark, as a station in Panama City, FL flipped to all Christmas music earlier this week. 🙄

It's a stunt, nothing more.

Just to name a local station that did the same, how about 97.5 The Oasis back on Sept 1 2006?

Remember that FM100 streams Christmas music all year long on KSFI HD3. Until they switch it to the main signal and HD1 in November. HD2 plays Sunday Sounds all week.

Another station has flipped to Christmas music 24/7, and this station will be playing commercial free Xmas music through December 25TH. I wonder how much they're going to lose in advertising revenue over the next 2 1/2 months?

It's a blow-out-the-format stunt. They don't care.
