Results from P1 Media Group’s annual survey of “frequent” or “occasional” listeners to local radio stations that play only Christmas music during the holiday season show that nearly half (48%) believe that Christmas music programming should end on New Year’s Eve, while 24% prefer it to continue until the day after Christmas and 16% prefer it to end on Christmas itself. The survey was conducted last week among 400 listeners age 18-54 in the top 50 radio markets.
As for when stations should start playing music, nearly half (48%) want it to start before Thanksgiving, while 27% and 21% say it should start in early November and mid-November, respectively, while 21% and 24% prefer a start around Thanksgiving. Female listeners are more likely to favor the earlier start than male listeners, who favor it by a margin of 70% to 57% in November.
