This is Q90FM’s 6th year since launching the Police Lights of Christmas in 2016 – starting with only 2 police departments. There are no signs that the program will slow down anytime soon as more requests come in from police departments across the state! The mission of the Police Lights of Christmas program is to shine a light on the acts of kindness that our officers do every day that go largely unnoticed by the MSM – all while helping our neighbors in need at the same time. We believe that THEIR lights shine BRIGHTER when we work TOGETHER. Through this Program thousands of officers have helped tens of thousands of neighbors in need – changing the way countless people view law enforcement!!

Brian Wright from Wight Media Group has an idea to share to help capture the emotions of the Christmas holiday. With many families having relatives and loved ones all over the country it would be a great time to activate the station name Long Distance Christmas Song Dedication. You can do this all day long or isolate to various dayparts. This is a way to get heartwarming stories about your listener’s family and friends on the air. You can even invite your caller to contact the person they are dedicating the song to and have them listen on line for the call. It’s a great way to help your listeners connect with family and connect deeper with your station as well! You could even randomly choose one of your callers to win a trip to go see their friend or family member in the new year!
