We’ve got all-Christmas music radio stations!
California
- Los Angeles, California: 105.1 KKGO-HD2 and 98.3 K252FO
As RadioInsight.com notes: “In previous years, the company did all-Christmas on ‘Go Country 105’ KKGO-FM from after Thanksgiving until Christmas. iHeartMedia AC 103.5 KOST is the usual market leader with Christmas music in Los Angeles.”
Why the earlier-than-usual flip? “We want to get a jump on the competition,” owner Saul Levine told the LA Daily News.

When will Pittsburgh stations flip to Christmas?
Pittsburgh has historically had two Christmas music stations — 94.5 3WS and Wish 99.7.
Over the past few years, Wish 99.7 has flipped for the first few weekends as a Christmas music preview and then gone all in on the Friday before Thanksgiving, which had long been the date of Pittsburgh Light Up Night (it has since moved to the Saturday before Thanksgiving).
Similarly, 94.5 3WS typically flips the Friday before Thanksgiving.
STOP! The below information is from 2023:
