The list of stations playing all Christmas music continues to grow, with two more to add today.
104.1 The Fish Portland has officially kicked off the holiday season by announcing it will play exclusively Christmas music beginning at 9 am today. (11/5)
The Fish will continue Christmas programming throughout the holiday season.
Chirs Kelly, the Program Director, said, “We know our listeners love Christmas music because they tell us so every year. Christmas is that one time of the year when we come just about as close as you can get to being unified in celebrating the birth of Christ and spending time with family. With our message of Comfort and Joy all year round, Christmas music was made for The Fish.”
Phoenix radio station KEZ 99.9 FM will begin its holiday music programming on Wednesday, November 6, conveniently timed for the day following Election Day.
Program Director Paul Kelly told the AZCental, “This year especially, we’ve heard from listeners that they need the comfort of Christmas music. And in the nearly three decades of turning on Christmas music on stations through my career, that has certainly been the case during election years. Nov. 6 seems like a great day to turn on the Christmas music and turn off the political advertisements!”
