iHeart Hypes Its Annual Christmas Music Stations; Launches First Spanish Christmas Signal

[Colorado Media Newsroom]

From Radio Insight:

iHeartMedia is promoting that the company has shifted over 85 stations nationwide to all-Christmas music.
Nearly all of the stations that go all-Christmas annually within the company have done so with “106.7 Lite-FM” WLTW New York being the main exception. There are no stations so far that would be a blatant stunt ahead of a format change, but returning after not going all-Christmas in 2023 is Rhythmic AC “Movin 107.7” WMOV-FM Norfolk VA. You can stream all of iHeart’s Christmas stations here.
Also new this year is the company’s first all-Spanish Christmas station on Spanish Rhythmic “Mega 97.1” WRUM-HD2 Orlando/97.1 W246BT Clermont/97.1 W246CK Kissimmee FL.
The company will also air the annual “iHeartRadio Holiday Special” on November 27 at 7pm across all of its Christmas stations. Hosted by Mario Lopez, the event will feature interviews with Dan + Shay, Jennifer Hudson, Jimmy Fallon, Kelly Clarkson and more discussing their favorite holiday songs and traditions.
iHeartMedia Chief Programming Officer Tom Poleman said, “Year after year, as the Christmas season approaches, listeners look to our stations as the holiday music destination, anticipating the return of their favorite songs, from the timeless classics like Rockin? Around the Christmas Tree to Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You. Listeners around the country have really come to rely on our stations to kick off the season, these songs ignite their spirits and evoke memories, hearing the music is nostalgic. That?s what also makes this Holiday Special, well, so special because it?s their favorite artists sharing their personal holiday memories with their fans. Afterall, it is the most wonderful time of the year!?
