Upstate New York radio station now plays Christmas music all year long
« on: March 06, 2015, 2018 UTC »
ALBANY, N.Y. -- It's the most wonderful time of the year. And now, it's all year.

A Capital Region radio station now plays Christmas music 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

WQSH-FM, once known as PopCrush 105.7, switched over to the new, festive format on Wednesday at midnight.

How about a pool on how long they can keep that up....

I say after the 2nd Arbitron, it's gone.... unless the first is bad enough.

Sounds like someone is stunting before the real new format comes online.  At least christmas music has some class, god knows what they will switch to.

Perhaps the descendents of the late James Brownyard bought the station. We'll have to wait until the lawn mowing season starts in Albany for proof.


Yay-yay-yay......
