Unless this is a stunt to presage a new format.

WQSH-FM, once known as PopCrush 105.7, switched over to the new, festive format on Wednesday at midnight.

They rebranded the station as “Santa 105.7-FM.” You can listen to the station live online.

Station owners at Townsquare Media, formerly Regent Communications Inc., said market research revealed a strong demand for holiday hits all year long. The company said the holiday music is not a stunt and promises “everything from Sting to Bing.”

“This might strike some as being risky in this environment of new media, but I’ve looked at the numbers and they don’t lie,” said Townsquare Media’s local market president, Jake Demmin, in a statement. “There’s literally a clamoring for Christmas music 24/7/365/52.”

            I was confident someone would post it. This ranks up there with Ted Stevens’ “The internet is a series of tubes” classic. And the best part is he has no idea what a buffoon everyone considers him.

        Bill gets around.

        I was blessed to be with my family this Christmas. It was a marvelous time. My parents are getting up there in years and in the back of my mind was the realization we may not have many more of them where we can all be together.
        The food we had was superb, as always and we had a fine time talking of Christmases past when I was a little kid.
        The whole thing was such a precious, tender, golden time. It was something to treasure.
        That’s the sort of thing that comes to my mind when Christmas comes up.
        Not O’Reilly or being hateful toward anyone else.

      He did his part to keep Christmas white and American.

    • bluejayray March 6th, 2015 at 13:39

      I heard he was right there when it happened!…

    • Abby Normal March 6th, 2015 at 16:03

      This guy is a shmuck (an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person).

      • Larry Schmitt March 6th, 2015 at 16:52

        He even looks like a schmuck. I mean his photo, not this caricature.

        • burqa March 7th, 2015 at 06:35

          I don’t pay much attention to O’Reilly, but I do see something that catches my interest when it comes to him and Christmas.
          I don’t care for the guy so I go on about my business and have other things to do so ignoring him doesn’t take any effort.
          But there are some people who will take someone like O’Reilly or some bigot somewhere and they’ll drum up within themselves the very hate they deplore in others.
          It’s a strange thing to see, and these people don’t seem to understand they are doing the same thing they object to.
          They seem to have the idea that conservatives who hate are to be loathed, but liberals who hate just as much, in the same way is ok just because they have a different target.
          Point it out to them and they suddenly begin to gaze at you like Terry Schiavo, completely unaware of their hypocrisy.

        Of course he’s a schmuck, but he’s a schmuck that single handedly won the fictitious “war on Christmas”! He’s was there when it happened, right there on the battlefield! I’m sure we can look forward to more heroic bravery when Bill O’Reilly tackles the “war on Easter”.

    A lot of Christmas tunes are happy tunes and a happy tune can lift your spirits on any day.

    My guess is they’re already losing money and are doing this to limit further losses until the station can be sold.
    If not, or if it’s not a stunt they’re doing before a format change, I think it is a dumb idea.

    I love a lot of Christmas music. It is a major part of a special, beautiful time of year. I don’t care for the way the songs begin playing and the other appurtenances begin in October or even September.
    I prefer holding off the way we did when I was a kid. Back then the only holiday being brought up before October 31st was Halloween and the same between then and Thanksgiving. Then we got a break and Christmas-y things didn’t really get underway until after Pearl Harbor Day.
    We wouldn’t get a tree until about a week, maybe a week and a half beforehand.
    The way it’s done now tends to make people sick of it and anxious to just get the damned thing out of the way.
    Christmas should be kept special and I think would be better if we didn’t have things start so soon.
    The focus should be on keeping it a special, beautiful and precious time in which hearts are warmed by the Christmas spirit, families come together and people see something more important than petty political squabbles or other nonsense.
    People shouldn’t go around trying to pick fights over it or try to ruin such a beautiful experience for others. If one doesn’t participate, fine. Be happy for those who do.
    The greatest part of it for me is when that magical Christmas spirit makes an appearance in my life. Sometimes it hasn’t arrived until a day or two before the 25th, but it never fails and is something I treasure. In recent years it has come a week and a half to two weeks out and always lasts. I just cruise on this Christmas high right on through.

    To me, what this radio station is doing takes something out of it by making it an everyday thing rather than something we have to wait for.

    Adeste fidelis!
    Laeti triumphantes
    Venite, venite
    In Bethlehem
    Natum videte
    Regem Angelorum
    Venite adoremus,
    venite adoremus,
    venite adoremus
    Dominum!

    Aaaahhhh, the classics…

    she didn’t believe what she heard at all. …”
