I AM SO TICKED OFF RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
Today (October 20), I went online to listen to the American Top-40 Channel on Format Lab, only to find that on the channel that normally has AT40 Flashback, they switched to all-Christmas music. Now, I have nothing against Christmas, but isn't it just a little bit early to be breaking out the Christmas tunes, considering Halloween is still barely two weeks away??? And, why did they have to take off AT40 Flashback for a Christmas Channel? The Format Lab Guide says it using some channels in the 1000 range for the Christmas music, but Channel 510 (The normal AT40 Channel) was playing Christmas music. I look forward to hearing AT40 Flashbacks online, and was sorely disappointed when I tuned in only to find that they replaced it with a Christmas-music channel, and before Halloween yet!!!
And if that's not bad enough, XM has started cutting the AT40 closing themes again Today's show should have had the "Shuckatoom" music at the end, but they cut away even earlier than they ever had before, even before the trombone solo prior to the "Shuckatoom!" shout. I know it's not that big a deal to most people, but to me, well, AT40 just isn't the same without the full-length closing music.
