The holiday tunes for Pittsburgh…

November 20, 2007 Off By Eric O'Brien

Here’s the scoop on the holiday tunes – just in case you’re keeping score.

WSHH began its Christmas music run on 11/16 and will continue it through it’s traditional “36 Hours of Christmas” on 12/25. PD Ron Antill told the Post-Gazette that the station was successful with the flip last year and decided to repeat it this year. (FWIW, We’ve noticed that the change does not yet include the John Tesh Show running overnight.)

WLTJ began its Christmas format on its HD2 Channel a couple of weeks ago. Tomorrow (11/21) the two formats will be reversed through Christmas. HD2 will carry the AC format while the main signal will be Christmas themed.

We’ve been waiting to see when WWSW would make its annual flip…and it looks like it won’t be making the full flip this year. However, the Christmas music is flowing via webstream on 3wsradio.com. The station, meanwhile, will try a novel approach and gradually program more and more Christmas music as we get closer to Christmas.
