The radio dial is sounding quite festive this Christmas eve. As I headed to services this evening - I was pleasantly surprised at the number of stations that dropped their normal formats to get in the spirit - with 100% Christmas music:
KTSY/89.5 FM
KIZN/Kissin’ 92.3
KZMG/Magic 93.1
KRVB/Idaho’s 94.9 The River
KAYN/Boomer 100.7
KAWO/WOW Country 104.3
KBOI/News-Talk 670
KTHI/107.1 K-Hits
These stations join KXLT/107.9 Lite FM which went all-Holiday on Thanksgiving, and KDJQ-AM which went all Christmas last week.
KKGL, KCIX, KJOT, KQFC, KWEI, KDBI, KSAS are all playing some Christmas cuts along with their normal format. That’s 17 total stations from ‘AWO to ‘ZMG. They should all conspire to play Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer at the same time. Now THAT would be funny.
About the only stations I could find that hadn’t adjusted formats were KSRV/96.1 Bob FM and The X.

That’s because I hate Christmas, so why should I help everyone else enjoy it? It’s bad enough I had to work on Christmas Eve.

A little elf told me Ian did actually play a Christmas song during the 5pm hour Christmas Eve - a little ditty by Weezer.

Well, miracles have been known to happen.

If you’re talking about miracles and Ian in the same sentence, you better be sure to include “whip” in there somewhere.

Would that be “whip” or “wimp”? I’m thinking he may have started partying at 5 pm with a lovely lady and some egg nog.

So what happened to 890? It came on the week before Christmas, played Christmas music for a week, and on the day after Christmas is gone again?

Tim, I swear to god if the “whip” you are referring to is “Cool Whip”, I’m going to kill you, you skinny bastard. I know it’s you that keeps leaving carrot sticks on my desk. Don’t think I’ve forgotten about the ol’ pudgy version of Mr. Johnstone. You’re all high and mighty now that you’re the spokesperson for Gold’s Gym’s “New You for the New Year” crap, but that doesn’t give you the right to keep tormenting your still overweight co-workers.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go eat some Christmas cookies, something you people on diets can’t really do.
Merry Christmas.

Oh, Ian, you poor misguided soul. I was leaving the carrots in hope that you might fill in for one of the rheindeer this year …… With all the cookies and milk Santa gets at each stop, those poor sled-pullers needed all they help they could get.. :)
