CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Its that time of year again!
A Cincinnati radio station has flipped over to non-stop holiday music.
STAR 93.3, Cincinnatis Christian music station, started spreading the holiday cheer Monday morning.
We believe Christmas is the most joyful time of the year, station officials wrote on their website. Christmas music is one of the few types of music that is almost universal. Not everyone listens to Christian music. Nor does everyone listen to country, rock, or pop music. However, Christmas music is different in the fact that almost everyone grew up at one time or another listening to Christmas music. Its familiar to almost everyone. Because of that fact, when we play Christmas music on STAR 93.3, we have many new people tuning in.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.
Right on cue. ♫
A Louisville radio station has once again flipped over to non-stop Christmas music.
If you turn on 106.9 Play (WVEZ), you'll hear nothing but holiday music up until Dec. 25, 2021. It started early Monday morning at 9 a.m.
They usually make the switch from modern hits to Christmas tunes the day after Halloween. You'll hear all kinds of classics like "Rudolph" and "Let It Snow."
"We are the perfect mix, Christmas music during the holiday season and the best variety of 2K and today the rest of the year. We always have been, and always will be, Louisvilles original Christmas Music Station," SummitMedia Louisville Operations Manager, Cagle, said in a news release.
Cagle said the station plans will also have contests like the "Jingle Bell Rock Double Play" and plans to parade Santa through Louisville.

This is why people get so sick of the Christmas holidays. It's blasted at us for 2 solid months, whether we want it or not. And then the DAY after Christmas, everything disappears off the air.

(82,849 posts)They start in with the Christmas music around about Thanksgiving (and it's creeping up sooner every year, it seems). I don't mind Christmas music, but let's face it, there's about three hours of songs, maybe four. After the umpteenth rendition of Burl fucking Ives and "Holly Jolly Christmas" or the assaultive "Carol of the Bells," I've had it.
I supposed a constitutional amendment might be overkill, but fer crissakes, can we at least not play "Wonderful Christmastime" before, say, December 10? Or at least provide government-paid ice picks for those of us who want to stab out our eardrums?

(14,061 posts)Can we at least get a few days into November before we start this shit?
Just waiting until all the nonstop December To Remember car ads start, with happy people waking up on Christmas morn with a brand-new SUV in the drive, complete with ribbon and bow.
Call me a Grinch, but Im probably not the only one who finds November and December difficult enough without this.
