That is WAY too early! Disgraceful!

Bah humbug. Seriously. When did Christmas become this four-month crap music fest?

I'm ready to launch a real "War on Christmas". I'll contact Bill O'Reilly and alert him of my intentions.

Frankly, I'm surprised some bleeping radio station doesn't do a Christmas in July promo and just let it roll for the remainder of the year!

This is just ridiculous now

Why stop there? Why not have a Christmas radio station all year round (I think Sirius XM has a Christmas channel running all year as an online exclusive)?

Iheartradio has "Christmas 365"

Lol seriously? People really need to hear Christmas music all year round? Winter Wonderland in July? Really?

Apparently the Christmas music on there is short-lived. From their Facebook page:

Hey, where's the Christmas music at? I was enjoying it and now I get hillbilly music? WTF?

WTH? What happened to the Holiday music? What is going on with this station? Not winning any new listeners.

I couldn't believe it when you switched to Christmas music. It was too d**n early, but then you just use that as a mask to conceal the fact you've switched to country?! You guys were the only station really that played The Gorillaz and The Black Keys and such...now you're just like every other schmuck station in this area. I hate country music, and apparently a lot of other people do as well. You guys are scam artists like another listener said. You've just lost another truly dedicated listener...and that's a d**n shame...but as you say, changes have to be made...

You are scam artists. You play 2 days of Christmas music so you can hide the switch to Country. This is shameful and I will never listen to your station again, regardless of format.

Click 101.5 is no longer a radio station.

Our first actual station to start airing Xmas music, and not change to another format, happened October 17th. It's WEZW in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey.

When is WODC going to start airing holiday music?

Some stations around here start playing Christmas music even BEFORE Halloween, that's just ridiculous. At least wait until Halloween is over although I don't get the point of playing Christmas music until at least Thanksgiving but that just me. I've noticed it's getting played earlier and earlier every year.
