Festive Christmas Flips
When we later contacted Sound PD Dave Beasing, he exclaimed, “Take that, KOST!” But seriously, Beasing said, “We’re grateful to Entercom for allowing us these final days to say ‘Goodbye’ to Southern California. The response has been overwhelming.” The Orange County Register also alertly picked up on The Sound’s Christmas music gambit.
Matt Scarano, President of iHeartMedia’s Chicago Region, commented, “With all the turmoil in the world today, we felt Chicago needed a little more Christmas right now. The extension of the Christmas music season will allow Chicagoans to get into the Holiday spirit even more this year.”
“Kristi and I are big fans of Christmas music and the memories that it brings to so many people,” said PD/morning host Chadd Thomas. His wife and co-host Kristi Thomas added, “This year, especially with the devastation from all of the hurricanes, the Las Vegas tragedy and all of the bad news stories, there are a lot of people that are craving the comfort that the Christmas season brings more than ever. We are thrilled to be able to provide that.”
