New Seattle AM music station KVI 570

Well, today Seattle FM station KJR ( I like the call letters) switched to "oldies 95.7"... This might be somewhat of a blow to KVI 570 AM.

I figured that they'd stop with the Xmas music on Dec 26th. They went full time Xmas music a week before Thanksgiving. The way stations quickly drop Xmas music on Dec 26th I figured that there must be an FCC regulation about it So they returned to oldies (they called it something else like classic hits). Full time Xmas music sometimes signals a format change.

That is true but not a reliable indicator, as a majority of stations return to "normal" programming after Christmas. The biggest clue in this case was when Clear Channel fired the KJR program director 5 days before Christmas... Merry Christmas Clear Channel !
