This year's first flip to all Christmas. Z 104 in Youngstown OH flipped to Christmas 104 on Friday, Sept 25.

Rewind 105.5 in Lexington KY went Christmas on 10/01 in anticipation of a format flip. Half-sister station Kiss 96.9 picked up the former Classic Hits format.

iHeart normally does all-Christmas on their AC stations in both Youngstown and Lexington.

And it continues... WVEZ (Play 106.9) in Louisville is all-Christmas as of today.

Personally this seems to me like a move that could backfire. Not only because this is way too early, but because the holidays are going to suck this year, and not only for the 200,000+ families who have lost loved ones to COVID. Most of the people I've talked to, including a friend of mine who posts on this board as Steve79 and is normally a diehard Christmas music enthusiast, say they're probably not even going to celebrate this year.

As expected, lots of flips Halloween and today. Lexington now has two all-Christmas stations with Mix 94.5 making the move, as does central PA (WARM-FM and WROZ). In addition to WDZH in Detroit, 106.3 Mac-FM in the Straits is also all Christmas as is 106.1 in Marquette.
