Here Comes the Christmas Music

The number of Wasatch Front stations flipping to all-Christmas has been incredible! KSFI HD-2 joins in Salt Lake County suspending it's "Sounds of the Sabbath" programming in favor of an all-Christmas format. In Utah County KSRR "K-Star" (AM 1400) put it's adult contemporary format on the shelf, as well as sister KQMB "Star" (96.7 FM) who put it's all- eighties format on hold, both in favor of all-Christmas music.

I also stand corrected: Last year, KOSY flipped on Halloween, as it did this year. It also wasn't the first of the year: 1400 KSRR "K-Star" was the first ... Lynn Arave, Deseret Morning News, Dec. 23, 2005: "On Oct. 24, KSRR begins playing holiday music, and KSFI begins an online on-demand holiday-music option on its Web site." It is a long tradition for the Utah county station - celebrating nearly two decades of Christmas music. KSRR started playing all-Christmas music during the holiday season in 1987.
