  • All good tunes, but why do Christian formatted stations, feel the need to merge secular music into their playlist at Christmastime? Aren’t we suppose to be different by letting our light shine for the real reason for the season? What does Santa have to do with Jesus?

  • Hi Bill. It’s an outreach thing. If you don’t play familiar Christmas songs you will NOT get listeners outside of your P1 reach . It’s strategic. We have found that just the right mix brings in new listeners who you now have the opportunity to reach for Christ. And honestly, there are lots of you regular listeners who will go to the secular station to hear the familiar, memorable songs from Bing, Carpenters, Andy Williams, etc. (if you don’t air them)

    • Good points, Coy! Thanks for sharing your view.

  • What is this based on? I assume this is from a large online survey, but it doesn’t say. Curious what the demo is on this (F 25-54?) and the total number of responses to the survey.
