It's 70 degrees out and 103.3 is playing Christmas music

Is it time for my annual boycott of Karen Blake already? Gah!

UPDATE: OK, they haven't gone to All Xmas All the Time yet, it's for some contest where they play "one of our many versions 'Santa Clause Is Coming to Town' " and if you're the 20th caller you win just enough money to replace the radio you've flung to the ground in disgust.

This is just an example of how out of touch corporate radio is. My high school students don't even listen to radio anymore - just a few cubicle bound adults and drivers hitting scan/seek now and again. And the funny thing is, radio isn't even trying to save itself by remaining relevant...to anything, as far as music goes. Perhaps one day, radio will be only "Talk," if it survives at all.

At least college radio is still cool...and WFMU. That's about it.

ps - I complain because I used to LOVE radio.

Oh, well, that's all right then. As long as they don't break out the Jingle Dogs and Hava Nagilah Cats before a couple hundred plays of Bobby "Boris" Pickett have had a chance to drive me round the bend.

Christmas music? Already? If I could rip your frequency out of my radio, so that I would never have to chance a mistaken listening of your insipid station again, I would.

Its not the weather, I'm more upset that they are playing Christmas songs before Thanksgiving. (or Halloween) Shameful commercial radio not even waiting for the Thanksgiving day parade with the appearance of Santa to kick off the shopping season.

I personally like listening to Christmas music as early as possible...so I remember to get most of my shopping over with before the rush...but I don't want it playing over the air before Halloween! However, I'd like to know when it'll start playing online.
