What radio stations do you listen to during Christmas?

[PumpkinJack81]

We all have local radio stations that play Christmas music during the holiday season...What stations do you listen to during Christmas? :christmastree: Share them here, along with links to their websites so others can enjoy them online! :singing:

This is ours. They are called the Christmas station during the holidays.http://www.1037litefm.com/
they are always raising money for the children's hospital. Just a loving group of people. Click on the top right button that say Christmas Channel.

Forgot to mention that Terry King, the dj that is all christmas sounds just like santa on the cartoon, santa clause is coming to town, hehe, I just love it!!

thanks for sharing! I am tuning in to 103.7 thats the one I listen to during the holidays too!:snowman:

[persimmonpudding]

I just scan and stop when I get to a channel thet plays it...but only in the car.

I have solved the commercial problem for home and office use. I bought a pocket hard drive and ripped all of my holiday collection of CDs into it. Now I just plug them in and play. The whole package is about the size of 2 decks of cards and puts 1000s of songs at my disposal. You can get the pocket drives fairly cheap online or wait for sales.

By the way, if you're into traditional and traditionally-inspired American music, try WMMT - Appalshop at:

I listen to news radio, but one local station in the DC area starts playing Christmas music around Thanksgiving. I don't have a link, but the station is WASH FM. I think it's 97.1. I listen to the news, then switch over. I can't say I'm wild about their selection, and by mid December they are airing promo's saying they'll be switching back to their regular format as soon as Christmas is done.It sort of takes you out of the mood when they are telling you it will be over soon. I'm sure the plan is to get people to switch for Christmas, and stay the rest of the year. It doesn't work for me. When Christmas is done, so am I.

I can't wait until the radio stations play non stop CHristmas music. I listen to 104.7 on the weekends for the CHristmas music and 103.7 during the week. I am not sure if they play CHristmas music on that station I have not heard any.

Bobbi, 104.7 is already playing Christmas music during the week! Turn it on! :carols:

[steph535]

ok, call me an odd one, but I didn't grow up with "classic" Christmas music like Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, etc... (though everyone outside my family seems to have.) What I love is the classical type; Canadian Brass, Robert Shaw Chorale, Chanticleer, and a list of many others too long to mention. There are no radio stations that play non-stop classical Christmas music:crying:; the ones that play non-stop only play the 'classic' ones, which are ok, but not what I throroughly enjoy. So, I listen to aol radio and listen mostly to their Classical Holiday and World Holiday stations. oops, I didn't mean to put a sad blue face next to my subject heading. sorry. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!

[flick's tongue]

In SE Michigan, WNIC FM 100.3 has been broadcasting Christmas music since early November. I'm also enjoying Sirius XM's channel, Holly.

Have you checked out AccuHolidays (http://www.accuradio.com/holidays/)? They have a Classical Christmas channel that is great! I've been listening to it lately and I really enjoy it. :carols: I believe this link will take you to the righr channel: Classical Christmas (http://www.accuradio.com/app/radioframe?&channel=Channel8&sub=SubClassical&brand=&br=&skin=&mtype=fl). Enjoy! :waving:

[steph535]

[steph535]

oh gosh, this classical station on accuradio is the BEST! much better than the other station I have been listening to. PumpkinJack, you have made my day. I think I'm in heaven.:jumping:

[devoy26]

there is an irish one www.christmasfm.ie it is pretty cool.

[Christmas_Freak1993]

I live in tucson, AZ and this one station plays nonstop christmas music all season. it's 97.5 BOB fm. and 93.7 has this christmas wish thing, where they give unfortunate families a good christmas every day, and it's really sweet.:love:

[flick's tongue]

A Detroit FM station, WNIC 100.3, flipped to all Christmas music today.

that's great to hear. I lived in Detroit most of my life and used to listen to that station a lot.

[Grinchless-Bauble]

As Devoy rightly said, www.Christmasfm.ie is a temporary Irish Christmas radio station which launched last year. For a whole month, from the end of Nov till 26th Dec, there is non stop 24/7 Christmas music, with really great Dj's and really made Christmas amazing last year. Everyone working there is voluntary and all the proceeds go to the ISPCC, Children Charity.. So it really is a good cause.

It attracted so many International listeners last year, and they read out texts from people getting in the spirit, so i urge all of you to head to the website and bookmark it, and make it your number 1 for Christmas Spirit this year!!! I'd love to hear the Americans/English/Greek, all nationality's feedback from it!

OK, Detroit has dueling Christmas stations now, WNIC 1003. and WMJC 105.1. I guess we're spoiled!
