It appears that Energy 95.3 in Hamilton has switched back to it’s Hot AC format along with Magic 106.1 Guelph and Fresh 103.1 in London. I can also comfirm that Dream 105.7 in Niagara is still playing Christmas music as well. But 96.1 in Buffalo is back playing their AC format. Even 100.3 WNIC in Detroit is still playing Christmas music as well.

I think nothing. 99.9 has all the HD subchannels on there like CFRB 1010  and CHUM 1050. But for 104.5’s HD2 subchannel I would love for them to put a Bounce Radio format on there. But I don’t know how would that work out since boom 97.3 is one of the most listened to stations in the GTA.

I think it’s OK to still play Christmas music on Boxing Day, it is kind of a part of Christmas after all!

I love that stations do this now.
When I was a kid, it was just galaxie and maxtrax that did that.
Now, CHFI stops on newyears eav like stations in the UK.

SXM is still running their Holiday Traditions channel, but today is the last day for it. Last year, I recorded a few hours of it, so I can continue to enjoy it this year for a few more days. I'd rather listen to Chrismas music for a few days after Christmas than six weeks before Christmas.

No Christmas Music on Christmas Day would be a little strange, no?

CHYM 96.7 in K/W is still playing Christmas music along with 98.1 CHFI in Toronto. I can also say that Dream 105.7 in Niagara has switched back to their AC format too. I will keep on eye on 98.1, 96.7 and 100.3 WNIC to see if they have switched back to their AC formats
