Said Big Machine’s Scott Borchetta: "This is an album that everyone is so proud of, and we're equally thrilled that Clear Channel has embraced this music and will utilize it across their entire media, entertainment and iHeartRadio platforms. The station also includes new songs from this year's releases, Big Machine’s A Very Special Christmas 25th Anniversary “Joy to the World” and A Very Special Christmas “Bringing Peace on Earth” from Word. Blige, No Doubt, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Vanessa Williams, Bryan Adams and others. The new station features the entire A Very Special Christmas collection, including songs from U2, Madonna, Sting, Bon Jovi, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, Wyclef Jean, Sheryl Crow, Mary J. They’re scheduled to begin spinning Christmas music full time beginning Friday - a full 42 days before we eat our last candy cane of the season.AN iHEARTRADIO XMAS: Clear Channel will launch a new digital Christmas station on iHeartRadio, A Very Special Christmas Radio, to mark the 25th anniversary of the Very Special Christmas album series, which has raised more than $109 million for the Special Olympics to date. Jay Towers is the morning show host and music director at Detroit’s 100.3 WNIC, one of the iHeartRadio stations that did that. One reason it might feel like it is though is that some stations brought back some holiday cheer in small doses at the start of the pandemic. An industry source notes that some stations regularly flip just after Halloween. (Walmart’s event is already underway!) Not to mention that the Hallmark Channel began showing its beloved Christmas movies even before kids went trick-or-treating.Īs far as the radio changeover goes, though, it’s actually not any earlier.
It’s just one of the ways that the “most wonderful time of the year” seems to be arriving early in 2020, with Starbucks offering its holiday cups starting Friday and stores greatly extending their traditional Black Friday sales. Eventually, 80 of the company’s more than 850 stations will switch over to festive tunes all day, every day through Dec. Listeners of seven iHeartRadio stations in markets including Los Angeles, Dallas and Charleston, S.C., have heard Carey, as well as Elvis Presley, the Ronettes, Brenda Lee and all the rest, rockin’ around the Christmas tree since Nov. Hear that? It’s the sound of Mariah Carey rejoicing, as radio stations across the country agree with the “All I Want for Christmas Is You” singer that it’s time to start playing holiday tunes. Mariah Carey isn't alone in wanting to get on with Christmas.
