The day after Halloween is infamous for AC stations to start switching over to an all-Christmas format. Who will be the first one this year?
Use this thread to post the stations that flip and when you notice them doing it.

Of those four stations, WBEB and WOGL say -HD at the end so the regular station isn't Christmas yet. WOGL is Classic Hits, not AC. WAKW Cincinnati is Christian year-round. KEZF in Wyoming doesn't reach many people.

Some stations use the timely opportunity to go all Christmas and then flip format after Christmas.

9 is quite a few for November 1st. A lot make the flip right after Thanksgiving, and that's still 3 1/2 weeks away.

I just thought many stations flipped right after Halloween. Kinda shocked. But in a way glad since it is still a bit too early, but I expect all to be flipped the day after Thanksgiving.

Not all the stations flip. My AC is only all-Christmas the day after Thanksgiving, returns to normal the next day with Christmas songs mixed in, then goes all Christmas again at noon on Christmas Eve.

Yeah, what I mean is that all the stations that plan on doing a total flip I thought most did it on November 1st now. That was the "it" thing to do.
