Bob Rivers also penned this little seasonal ditty. Pretty sure this didn't make the CHFI Christmas playlist.

The snowflakes would complain about this one.
The CBSC would get a complaint about CHFI if they played this one.
So many of his christmas songs, as funny as they are, probably could'nt air theese days.

CHFI is just a cookie cutter station. Whatever music test they did was probably done once in one place many years ago. Then they just press repeat and the same songs over and over.
What's good for Toronto, is good for Kitchener, Ottawa and other places where there is a Rogers station playing Christmas music.  (give or take, with room for a new song here and there)

I am pretty sure Rogers does not have a station in Ottawa that plays Christmas music.

Audacy owned star, but they still let star have variety in there playlist.
Standard, then astral owned EZ rock, but they still had more variety than CHFI does.
Stingray owns VOCM, but VOCM has the most christmas music variety in canada.
Rogers has no excuses, there just making excuses to be boring.

Heh, I am corrected indeed! Somehow I thought Rogers Kiss 105.3 was the station that goes all Christmas there,
but I am indeed Wrong. It's Bell's Move 100 that does that. Thanks for spotting my error. 

In other markets though, the Roogers Christmas cookie cutter is very much alive. What's good for one market is good enough for another.

You know what is funny about Move 100 going all Christmas?  They won't announce the date in advance.  I guess only C-SIS knows.
