Here is the list of stations that have flipped to all Xmas. Thus, if your station is on the list, you will have to find another radio station for your favorite radio show. www.100000watts.com/specials.aspAt the time I typed this Monday evening, 11/2, 16 stations have already flipped.

Well so long as WKTK in Gainesville (which my mom listens to in her car) doesn't switch before Thanksgiving, I'll be alright.

I was listening to one of the Clear Channel stations online that would normally air American Top 40 the 80s. Of course, it didn't air due to the Xmas format. It is driving me nuts, because I can't remember the radio station. It might have been Lite 94 FM. However, I have no idea what the call letters of the station.
Anyways, there was a promo saying they will be airing the Classic AT10 Christmas shows starting the weekend of November 21-22nd. They will air them each weekend up to December 19-20th. I wonder if Premiere is offering the Christmas shows to any station that needs them.

I believe Premiere is offering the Classic AT10 Christmas Shows to stations that request them.

I believe Premiere is offering the Classic AT10 Christmas Shows to stations that request them. They are. Interesting that with Casey's retirement, these shows have been deemed "Classics." They're good, but I don't think they hold a candle to some of Casey's other work. Just one man's opinion, though.

I just went to the WHNN site, and saw the bad news... and yet, the link to the Casey page (= Scott's avatar) is still there... One station I KNOW airs the 70s shows that won't go all-Xmas... KPRC, the 9-5-0, Houston, Texas! They air Weststar's Kim Komando (Komputer Klinic), so they'll likely also air Weststar's Mannheim Steamroller's American Christmas, but it won't affect Casey, methinks. UPDATE: Majic 105.7 (a C.C. station in Cleveland) appears to be parking its Xmas stuff on web/HD for now...they carry AT40/70s 9AM-Noon and 9PM-Midnight Sundays.

I don't know when they started, but WMJJ in Birmingham, AL has switched to Christmas music (though it's not listed on that site that has the list of stations that are now all-Christmas), so you won't be able to listen to AT40: The 80s on there.

WLIF in Baltimore will switch to Christmas music after next weekend-Therefore,no "AT40-The 70's" until December 27th.

I wonder if JACK FM in Baltimore to flip to all Xmas soon, since they are a Clear Channel station. I noticed the Sunday night airing of 11/15/09 was the 1982 show from last week instead of the 1987 show.

Jack's programming is much more rock and less AC-oriented than most stations that go all-holiday for several weeks at a time.

Not that it really matters, but Magic 96.5 started their Christmas on November 9th.

The AT10 Holiday shows will start this weekend. WNIC has Casey Kasem on the program schedule. It will air during Christmas season on Sundays from 10 am EST to 1 pm EST. WNIC lists the show as 'Casey Kasem's Christmas Countdown.'
I'm surprised WNIC is giving Casey a really good time slot.

WBBG in Youngstown starts playing Christmas music the day before Thanksgiving. I don't know if they'll make the regular music online only like their sister station did last year.

Currently listening online to AT40-the 70s on WORC-FM (Webster, MA), and it's fine, except for the lack of optional extras. I tried WMGN (Madison, WI), as they aren't running all Christmas music until December 21, but they played the wrong AT40 (last week's 1970 show.)
