One station in Columbus will not go Christmas until Thanskgiving... 104.9 The River has decided not to go Christmas early this year.

This is the video report that mentioned 104.9 won't go Christmas until Thanksgiving. Click here to download this video report:
http://www.abc6onyourside.com/shared/newsroom/top_stories/wsyx_vid_1263.shtml They mentioned 93.3 and some store merchants
are to blame for bringing Christmas to Columbus way to early this year. At the end of this video report, the reporter is shown turning the volume down on 93.3's Christmas music. Hint to 93.3?

Columbus should be happy that they didnt get the honor of the first Christmas music station honors this year as that went to WAKW in Cincinnati followed by KATZ in St Louis

[Tri-State Media]

Correct. WAKW was, it appears, the first non-HD station to go all-Christmas.

A couple HD subchannels in other cities did before WAKW, but I have to dig to find out which...

For argument sake, we could say Columbus has the first non stunting and non Religious formatted radio station to go to all Christmas music.
KATZ is currently stunting with Christmas music until a new format is unveiled around the end of December. WAKW is a Religious formatted
radio station in Cincinnati, also on 93.3.

93.3 is such a disaster this is about the only move that makes sense for them.

The Channel 6 report was good publicity for both 104.9 and 93.3, the former being an asset by providing a unique service (for the commercial FM band, anyway), and the latter being a pathetic, Sunny-duplicating waste of the first REALLY good new FM signal to hit this good-signal-deficient market in 45 years.  93.3 is a disgrace and an embarrassment.

[Nu_Roo_2]

Sorry, somehow duplicated post.   Well,  at least my duplication doesn't waste a valuable community and business resource like 93.3 does.

[Rusty Blades]

104.9 provides a unique service?  Right.  There sure aren't many christian stations out there, are there?
