WODS 'Gone Jingle Bellin'

[Paul Hopfgarten]

They were talking about this on CNN HN, how 300(?) stations nationwide have
gone "All-XMas", and that 2 FMs in New Orleans (no calls mentioned) that
went all Xmas got many complaints, and switched back to 'normal' format(s).

Maybe 'ODS got complaints as well....and is this an Infinity phenominon,
send one station in each city to Xmas?
