the almost 30 year "Lite FM" (light-rock 102.9) flips to country music the day after Christmas.

I don't get it...isn't country music over yet. I guess not...according to latest Arbitron, K102 beat out KQ and "the good neighbor"...

it'll be known as Buz'n @ 102.9...Today's Buz'n Country.

someone was saying that some stations that flip to all Christmas music after Thanksgiving make HUGE money. They can double their share

SvenRichard says

2011-12-20T16:13:19.000Z

if you can make 4 months of revenue in 30 days, why not

SvenRichard says

2011-12-20T16:15:37.000Z

if nobody listens to your station, why not change?

LSJ says

yes indeed, almost all major radio markets have a station that flips to all Christmas music for the ladt 4-6 weeks of each year.

LSJ says

the light rock format has typically had huge numbers for all-day listening. it is the station that you'll hear in office lobbies, clinics..

SvenRichard says

2011-12-20T17:06:46.000Z

so were they rocking the ratings, or dying?

LSJ says

2011-12-20T17:10:18.000Z

dying...

LSJ says

I would assume Love 105 and/or Kool 108 will be the alternative and benefit from Lite-FMs flip to Country music.

So where are the lobbies and clinics going for their vapid pop? other stations? playlists? XM stations? contract music services?

SvenRichard says

2011-12-20T18:57:51.000Z

Pandora?

LSJ says

2011-12-20T20:23:30.000Z

good question...I don't know if Pandora can be played in public/commercial spaces.
