From Regular Broadcasts to Christmas Joy: Follow WYKR's Festive Switch!
Hello to all our listeners out there! As the air turns crisp and the leaves finish their autumn dance, we at WYKR 101.3 FM are gearing up for a very special time of year. Yes, it’s almost Christmas season, and we always have some musical treats in store for you!
The Big Wait
First things first, we believe good things come to those who wait. That’s why we keep our airwaves Christmas music-free until the day after Thanksgiving. We love the holiday spirit, but we also love giving Thanksgiving its time to shine. So, no Christmas tunes during or even the days before Thanksgiving. Patience is key!
Kicking Off the Season
Now, here’s where the magic starts. The weekend after Thanksgiving, get ready for a Christmas music extravaganza! It's our way of welcoming the festive season and getting everyone into the holiday spirit. Think of it as our musical decoration for your weekend.
Building the Excitement
As December rolls in, we start sprinkling in Christmas songs gradually. In that first week after Thanksgiving, you’ll hear about one Christmas song per hour. But don’t you worry, as each week passes, we’ll be adding more and more yuletide cheer to our playlists. The closer we get to Christmas, the more festive our station sounds!
The Christmas Marathon
Then comes the highlight - starting at noon on Christmas Eve, WYKR becomes your non-stop Christmas music station for 36 hours straight! That’s right, from classic carols to modern holiday hits, we’ve got your Christmas soundtrack sorted, all the way through Christmas Day.
Back to Regular Programming
Once the Christmas festivities wind down, and we’ve all had our fill of eggnog and cookies, we return to our regular programming on December 26. It's a gentle transition back to the tunes and talks you love.
A Special Twist
And for a special touch, during this season, our Fairbanks Museum Weather programming spots will feature some delightful 'Peanuts' Christmas music. It's a timeless favorite, loved by many of our listeners. It’s just another way to spread joy and nostalgia during the holiday season.
Join Us for the Joy of Music
So, as you wrap gifts, decorate your tree, or simply relax by the fire, let WYKR be the soundtrack to your holiday memories. Join us in this wonderful journey towards Christmas, one song at a time.
Happy Holidays and Merry Listening from all of us at WYKR 101.3 FM! 🎄🎶
