WNUW in Philadelphia, which recently flipped from smoooooooooth jaaaaazzzzzz to "Now 97.5, a Younger Approach to Today's Soft Rock," decided that people were too busy celebrating the Phils' World Series win to notice and went to all-Christmas music yesterday, the second station to go all-Christmas before Nov. 1, after WMVN St. Louis:
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/the-insider/33583764.html Looks like they're trying to play chicken with format competitor B101, the usual all-Christmas suspect in Philly (and one of the few locally- owned non-chain major radio stations in a major market--NUW's owned by Greater Media). Right now, B101's web site is showing an online "Christmas Music Poll," but no countdown clock to the change like a lot of the traditional all-Christmas stations have on their sites. Meanwhile, Tom Taylor of Radio-Info reports that in New York oldies station WCBS-FM seems to be engaged with a taunting game to try to make WLTW "Lite FM" go all-Christmas with a "Santa Song of the Day" contest, although they haven't gone totally all-Christmas--yet. Lite is responding with *their* "Santa Song of the Day" contest and an online Christmas music stream, but has also resisted taking the plunge--yet. (They don't have a countdown clock up, as well.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
