Yesterday WROR switched to all Christmas music.
Really.
FIFTY full days of Little Drummer Boy and White Christmas and those barking dogs… :smack:
The Holiday commercials have started too. I can listen to a CD or MP3 player instead of the radio but how can I not watch TV?! If only I had TIVO.
Twelve ought to be enough for anyone.
If there’s a War on Christmas, it looks to me like Christmas is fighting back, and probably winning.
We need better ammo.

I think we need to take off and nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Mmmm-hmm. I had a Christmas song inserted by force into my head just from being in Wal-Mart the other day. They were playing Christmas songs over the PA. :smack: There oughtta be a law. :mad:
The oldies station my husband listens to went to All-Christmas on Nov. 1, or maybe even Halloween. He was horrified. I think it might be too much even for me, and I’m the one who fights with my kids most of this month to be able to play my Christmas CDs. They won’t let me if they catch me.
I will admit, they don’t object too much when that’s all I play during December. So I can’t really complain. After dinner on Thanksgiving, is the rule they’ve given me. (I fudge it some.)
The Christmas music is playing to prepare everyone for the
BIG, BIG, BIG Pre-Before After Christmas Sales!!!
You meant twelve minutes, right? Right?!?
I am a huge fan of Christmas - but this is much too early! So far I haven’t heard any Christmas music, although I am seeing the holiday commercials.
It is never too early to switch to an all-Christmas format. One of the radio stations in St. Louis (“Movin’ 101.1”) switched sometime around Oct 10th.
And not the good Christmas music, either. Amy Grant, and George Michael singing “Last Christmas”, and stuff.
Even the other radio stations in their company are making on-air jokes about it.
Oh, man! I’m so jealous!
No, seriously. I’m waiting with bated breath for our local stations to start.
START ALREADY, LOCAL STATIONS!
(The fact that it will completely drive supervenusfreak around the bend when it does start is just gravy…)
This is one of the many reasons I stopped listening to that station. I remember when it was kinda, sorta good music back when I was at Wash U. Now that station really blows the goat. Thank god for NPR.
Both times that this has happened here, the station switched formats immediately after the holiday. I’d be suspicious…:eek:
I am a (volunteer) disc jockey … I spin CDs for my personal entertainment & the listeners’ edification. I just got my first promo (i.e., free to me) Christmas CD last Sunday, Nov. 1st; it looks way cool (Ray Charles! and other blues, R&B, jazz stuff) but NO WAY will I play it EXCEPT on the ONE show nearest to Christmas, which will be on Dec. 20.
I never preview the new CDs that come in; I like to take chances 
And I always close the Christmas show with Charlie Musselwhite’s “Silent Night.” On Alligator Records. Thanks, Bruce!
This is shocking. People still listen to music on the radio?
I know Christmas is almost hear and I’m still in shock from last year’s snow. Now if I had money to buy presents I’d be all set.
There’s another one in addition to Movin’, but I don’t stay there long enough to find out what it is. It just makes me mad, though!
