Playing Christmas music, S8 signal in NY with clear audio at 1355 UTC.  I was across the room with the radio on lowvolume when I thought I heard the announcer say "P.J. Sparx".  Now heard the "PRB 2015 Hoiday Special" ID, by Charlie Loudenboomer, and mention of a special QSL for this broadcast.  "Holly Jolly Christmas" at 1419 UTC, and another announcement by CL.
