Believe it or not, we are not too far away (1.5 weeks) from November 1, a day that some AC stations flip the switch over to all Christmas music for the holidays.
Use this post to list which stations make the flip and when they do!

St. Louis has had a Christmas station since October 10, when Movin 101.1 (WMVN) flipped to all-Christmas music (but it'll be a Sports station come December 26.)

I know, hard to believe. I checked the site, and it's still all-Christmas, and there's another 65 days 'til the big day. |

The only question remaining for me is which station gets to take KOST's place in my car when they flip. As per tradition, KOST gets their preset back the moment I step in my car on December 24th. There's actually a pretty good discussion going on about this topic on the www.radio-info.com boards as well. |

I will stop listening to any station that is xmas until day after thanksgiving. Expected WMYX to switch tomorrow after morning show, but apparantly the oldies station switched to make the myx jump, then went back to regular programming. Just like they did last year.

Have any other stations flipped? Any program director that switches a station to all-Christmas this early obviously HAS flipped! |

There's a rumor Coast, the faux ACstation here may do it as well.

Our hold music in one of the departments where I work apparently is "all Christmas" (and customer's are ANNOYED!) I've gotten two complaints about it in two days already.

Lite-FM in Chicago has turned on the Holiday Lite. Yeah, and the "countdown to the Lite" on their website sort of implied that they'd be making the switch on November 21. Guess either they changed their minds or I read it wrong. |

FYI, KOST here in L.A. made the switch last week and promptly lost it's preset in my car.

I heard somewhere that WLTW flipped for awhile, and then went back to regular music before going all-xmas again.
