When will Easy 101.3 play Christmas music?

So Fresh 103.1 in London has started playing all Christmas music. CHYM 96.7 Kitchener/Waterloo is playing all Christmas as well. Magic 106.1 in Guelph is playing all Christmas 104.3 Fresh Radio in Kingston is playing all Christmas. But on Monday November 18th 98.1 CHFI Toronto will be turning on the switch to all Christmas music. But there is no word on Easy 101.3's website of when they will make the switch to Christmas music. So far Move 105.7 in Niagara is still playing regular music. 104.7 Heart FM is also playing regular music as well, same with their HD2 format. 105.1 The River in Niagara Falls and Lite 92.1 in Brantford is also playing their regular music as well. But when will Easy 101.3 make the switch?

Thank you for this. Now I know which stations to avoid for the next six to eight weeks.

Seconded. 😁
Especially McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmastime'.

The Christmas format used to also be a handy way to change format. 
Drop the current format. Go ALL Christmas, then on Boxing day...surprise! New radio station! 
I wonder if we will see this happen anywhere this year...?


RadioWiz & RadioQuiz are NOT the same person.

Just as a matter of interest, on Friday, at least 85 iHeart stations in the U.S. all flipped to Christmas music at the same time.

Nearest iHeartMedia one is 100.3 WNIC Detroit which can be heard in Windsor since it's close to Detroit.

December 26th can't come soon enough. Call me a scrooge. I only listen to a limited amount of Christmas music on December 24th and 25th. Boxing Day back to normal please.

Maybe this will bring you back...
