tracy0504 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Tomorrow!!! On another note, I wonder why some of these stations start so late in December. I was wondering the same thing...we have a local station that will start in the next week or two with non-stop Christmas music until December 26ish (they start weaning us off around that date, lol)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
