Thank goodness for Sirius XM.

I agree.

Nailed it.

Howard 100 please!

Well...... now two stations I don’t need to listen to.
Works for me.

If they are going to play Christmas music, it is what it is. So why not lay everyone off for two months? Supposedly radio is losing money. Do we really need local "personalities" telling us the names of the songs? I know it's all a feed. Every year WNIC and WRVF are playing the same 22 songs at the same time. If any listener don't already know the name of the song playing, oh well.

Close the studio, go over the board, do some preventative maintenance, let the lips start flapping again in January.

As long as they leave V98.7 HD2 and Sunny HD2 alone, I'm good.

That being said I got an email this morning from SiriusXM showing me my 17 holiday music channels. 17?!?!

Amen.

Weak

Why can't iHate expand their playlist? They have a hard time playing the Top 40 Christmas, yet alone mix it up a bit with a throwback instrumental or something interesting. I don't want, need, or listen to the same 30 songs over and over again.
WRVF should get a clue from WCKY-FM when they were WTTF-FM Tiffin and had a giant library of Christmas Music, or even 96.1 used to do it up right for a week before Xmas. Variety is the key to life and the poor retail workers have it bad enough this year without the same 22 songs all damn day from 101.5FM

Make that three in areas that can also pick up Mix 98.1 Defiance.

Agreed on that. 103.9 WLEN has a pretty big Christmas playlist as well, plus they give listeners a break on Fridays with all oldies. I remember WMTR's Christmas music too and they had a decent variety. Even WRVF was more listenable when they did the music locally instead of just plugging in to Premium Choice - they even played local artists like Sheri LaFontaine with "Toledo, My Hometown." Good luck hearing that one on 101.5 these days.

Townsquare's not much better, as WFMK and WCRZ run that company's tiny corporate playlist as well. At least neither of those stations has switched yet.

Westwood One's Adult Standards network has a nice mix of Christmas music as well, with artists like Celtic Woman, Lorrie Morgan (country) and Aaron Shust (CCM) you won't hear on the 150-song-playlist FM's. Sadly, both WXLA and WLEC have flipped away from that format in the past year.

Nobody is playing Karen Newman this year it seems
