Is this the first All Christmas Station in the US?
« on: September 22, 2005, 04:30:04 PM »

Yesterday's high was a record breaking 101.
This morning 96.1 KEFM in Omaha began playing Christmas Music.  There was even an official press release to go with it.

Wow!

I don't think so....I think it's what advertisers want.
Was in a K-Mart store earlier this week and found a whole
section of artificial Christmas trees and decorations.
Halloween costumes and decorations were marked way down
as clearance items!

I haven't heard any Christmas spots yet but I have seen
a little bit of newspaper (throw-away shopper) about
a new shipment of Christmas decorations and lights.

So, they will play Christmas music for more than 3 months!  That is a long time for a seasonal format.  Christmas seems so far away at this time.

Didn't WOW used to be in Omaha, too? (lol)

Is this change in anticiption of format change after Christmas?  I couldn't imagine changing this early otherwise.
