I'll be honest, I actually look forward to the non-stop Christmas music......AT FIRST, because it's a change from the already boring repetitive music being played on most stations. However, after a few days, or a couple of weeks the Christmas music quickly gets boring and repetitive, so then I try to find a close alternative to the regular music station I like, but it also listen to news and talk radio, so that is always there. Last year was rough. 103.3 WODS, my favorite local music station, made the switch in early November last year. Let's see. 105.7 WROR did the same. B101 (101.5) soon did the same, and Lite Rock 105 (105.1) soon after that. Two all Christmas stations in Boston, and two in Providence. So.....what was I left with for music? 790 WPRV when it was True Oldies. Also there was Fun 107 (107.1) which I like for newer dance music. Other than that, 630 WPRO and 1030 WBZ. But that's when I'm in the car. When I'm home, there is the wonderful internet, and I can hear Magic 92.5 in San Diego, my favorite online station, plus many others, so the only time I am restricted to music choice, is in the car. Even when the Christmas music first begins and sounds new and fresh to me, I still switch to my alternate stations occasionally. I like Christmas music from time to time in the holiday season, especially close to the holiday, but not non-stop all the time for almost two months. I can imagine some DJs in stations that go all Christmas are soon turning down the in studio monitor speakers on some songs after a few days. Honestly, having to play non-stop Christmas music for almost two months, I would go insane without turning the monitor down on some songs.
Think about it, an even shorter playlist than the already short playlist that most stations have in their regular format. They're coming to take me away HA HA, they're coming to take me away HA HA HO HO HE HE! HO HO? OH NO, I see the men in white coats now.
