Off-topic, but along these lines, in the Dayton radio market one of the local stations switched to all holiday music from sometime in Nov to after New Years or so. After they did this, they became the most popular station in the market and have held onto that # 1 spot still today.

I wonder how many new customers Sirius gets from Dish customers who want "more".

Ahhhh, Lite 99.9. Dayton's smooth holiday music station. Gotta love it...

Yeap, that's who it is.... My wife will always have it on once they start the Christmas music but she didn't continue listening to it afterwards.

I would probably never ever come near any of those stations with a 10 ft pole if it wasn't for holiday music... I listen to Sirius a lot too, at home through DISH and in my car... but after Thanksgiving, I'll listen to the holiday music. Yep.

I thought DISH did away with the metallic package names for the HD. You would think they would inform the marketing people (or whomever this email was from).

DISH used to also have a non-Serious channel that played holiday music this time of year. It was free for everyone. Are they going to do it again this year?

My wife noticed last year that as it got closer to christmas the BYU Radio network (channel 980) had a lot of nice christmas music featuring, not surprisingly, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

In addition to 982, Audio channel 947 also has holiday music right now. Both ITC I might add.
