You're welcome. That's what I'm here for. Almost all of markets 52 and above are PPM. 49 (Oklahoma City) and 50 (New Orleans) actually aren't, but 51 (Memphis) and 52 (Hartford/New Britain) are. I would guess those market ranks have changed in the last 10+ years. The only other exceptions are 19 (Puerto Rico) and 41 (Hudson Valley) for whatever reason. The full list is here: ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb_menu_rank

KSFI (FM 100.3) has flipped. I'm not sure of the exact date & time they switched, but the station is in Xmas mode as of 8:30 AM Thursday 11/17. 🙂

It would have been some time after I think about 9 o'clock last night. I tuned in then to see if they had flipped and they hadn't yet.

Very interesting. That's about a week later than they've been flipping for the past couple of years. Maybe they've been getting feedback that it was a little too early? (Personally I think before Black Friday is too early, but that's me.)

It would have been some time after I think about 9 o'clock last night. I tuned in then to see if they had flipped and they hadn't yet. I figured that KSFI would flip during morning drive time, and they did. According to a post on the FM 100.3 Facebook page, the station switched to all Christmas music just before 7:00 AM Thursday. No word yet on who won the $500 prize for correctly guessing the date & time that KSFI would "flip the switch", but they may not release that information in order to protect the winner's privacy. www.facebook.com/9283064321/posts/pfbid0pZ9nC5gjDF2kWdDVYrNAudti9xago9YKTrGVjamP3xwrkXNMB2BiuZE1XtaU6gjzl/?sfnsn=mo&mibextid=RUbZ1f

KKLV 107.5 (K-Love) and KANN 1120 have both flipped to all Christmas music as of Black Friday. KUBL and KSOP-AM have added a couple Xmas songs to their playlist every hour as well.

100.3 HD2 has replaced the Soft Sunday Sounds with their regular pre-Christmas format. I wish they would do that on Sundays throughout the year. Then those that aren't into the Soft Sunday Sounds could switch to HD2 and get the regular format. As it is, when it's not the holiday season, they play different songs of Sunday music on both channels on Sunday.

I have vague memories of FM100 having an HD3 feed that played Christmas music Jan-Oct and their regular format in Nov and Dec.

103.1 The Wave added a few alternative Christmas songs after Black Friday. I'm certain that they will be played more in December.
Prior to Thanksgiving they ran an ad stating that they were the "Thanksgiving Music" station. I had a chuckle.

No, I haven't sent them that suggestion. I thought about your point after I sent the message regarding those that listen to KSFI HD2 exclusively being thrown off 1/7 of the time. And, there are several similar formats like Bee 98.7 and Now 979 that one can turn to on Sundays.
