The Christmas episode this week on WTOJ was the 12/10/2005 AT10 Christmas show. Wow! If I'm not mistaken, they don't usually play that one (could be that's the "extra" show, due to there being one more weekend than usual of stations playing nonstop holiday music). |

Huh... don't know!
I see what you're saying about the cuesheets not lining up, tho. The first hour is spot-on with the cuesheet as seen on Charis, but after that it gets all wonky. TBF, I've seen a lot of deviations from the posted cuesheets for these holiday shows. I couldn't begin to say or verify if the shows really aired like these did originally, if the cuesheets aren't accurate (which is just as likely, based on various spelling errors you can find on them), or if Premiere is simply taking segments from several shows and splicing together 'all new' shows.

I have all the shows; will try to compose a list and compare with the cue sheets. Just haven't had much free time of late. I believe many of the 2004 and 2005 shows are similar, with just a few small differences. I haven't listened to them all yet.
ETA: 2005 has one more show than 2004 (7 vs. 6), as there was an extra weekend before Christmas that year. The first show had aired on the second Saturday in November.

That sounds logical, as 2005 had the same calendar configuration as 2022. |

Was "This Christmas" by Donny Hathaway ever played on one of the AT10/AT20 Christmas or another countdown as a Spotlight maybe? I seem to remember hearing it for some reason...  Thanks! |

Also what about "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Darlene Love? |

I feel like you're right; I remember hearing it also. I've only gotten through a few shows so far, and haven't come across it yet. |

For those keeping track, it would seem this last weekend's (12/10-11/2022) Christmas offering was part 1 of the Top 60 countdown from AT10 that played the weekend of 12/17/2005. I'm assuming this coming weekend will be part 2.
So far we've had:
11/5-6/2022 Christmas At the Movies Special, AT10, 11/12/2005
11/12-13/2022 12/1971 AT40 All-Time Christmas Countdown (with restored music)
11/19-20/2022 12/1973 AT40 updated version of the AT40 All-Time Christmas Countdown
11/26-27/2022 Christmas Top 30 Countdown, AT20 (AC), 12/20/2003
12/3-4/2022 Christmas Around The World, AT10, 12/10/2005 (I think. First hour of the cue sheet I could find on Charis matches, then...)
12/10-11/2022 Top 60 Christmas Songs Countdown Part 1, AT10, 12/17/2005
12/17-18/2022 (Presumably) Top 60 Christmas Songs Countdown Part 2, AT10, 12/24/2005

The most wonderful time of the year is just about here.
We know that WTOJ goes all-Christmas next Friday, so I imagine most stations will be starting around that time.

WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin went all Christmas music Friday afternoon, so get ready for 8 weeks of AT40 Christmas shows weekend mornings.
I wonder if Milwaukee, Wisconsin has its own all Christmas music station format like Chicago (WLIT) and Madison, Wisconsin (WXXM Rewind 02.1 FM) does?

I wonder if Milwaukee, Wisconsin has its own all Christmas music station format like Chicago (WLIT) and Madison, Wisconsin (WXXM Rewind 02.1 FM) does? WRIT and WMYX in Milwaukee were always in competition to be the first to flip. At one time they flipped on Halloween, but lately they have been more reasonable. Now, WRIT usually goes all-Christmas shortly before Thanksgiving. I haven't heard anything yet about this year. At any rate, when that happens, I stop listening until after Christmas. |
