1215 After a weak carrier for some time, the band just opened, and WBLR appeared. Sounds like "Happy Holidays To You".

VG with a light pop song. Can hear that some of these are Christmas related. Some light local QRM from an electric fence

The longer I listen, I think all of these are Christmas related, whether a standard Christmas song or there's just a mention of "Christmas" or "the holidays."

Off suddenly at 1351 with no ID or announcements
