What's with the wall-to-wall AM band Christmas music? I don't know if
it's particularly bad this year and I never noticed, or if it's that
Big Radio owns everything and is saving on staffing this year (are they
thinking nobody is listening so they might as well force the issue?).

Maybe the weather was better in previous years and I was just outside
more.

Anyway I get some station on every AM channel in the daytime, and
there were about three sports talk shows (they have a right to be
there and I don't mind but please) and 97 Christmas Music channels
all day. How is this possible? Is it like car dealers being closed
on Sunday, sort of a gentlemen's agreement? But listeners just flip
it off.

I like the background sound of Imus and Boortz and Rush while I work,
not Leroy Anderson for Christsake.

Actually a lot of stations carried Rush and Rush went to Christmas
Music for the Deaf, and the local Rush station preempted Rush for their
own Christmas Music. It's gotten two deep, it's so bad: Christmas
Music preempting Christmas Music preempting the regular show.

The Messaih _once_ on some station would be nice on Christmas Eve,
but that's my own nostalgia. Nobody listens to Leroy Anderson
unless there's a rap version.
