"Toledo, My Hometown", was part of the playlist in 2014, I think, and this was when Premium Choice was already the norm for IHeart Christmas playlists.ChrisWL1980 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 5:36 pmAgreed 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.WOHO wrote: ↑Sun Nov 08, 2020 2:54 amWhy 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
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.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through March 30 at 9:00a ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Re: WNIC All Christmas
At my local Leo's Coney Island, they usually switch to another station when WNIC starts its Christmas music in November, then switch back after Thanksgiving.
This year, it looks like they're just going to leave it on. As temporary background music, it's enjoyable, especially with all of the craziness in the world, just this past week alone. But I won't switch to it in my car until the real Christmas season starts.
