      Correct me if i am wrong, but heart appears to have started using Christmas jingles.

      And only this morning they where playing last Christmas by Wham.

      Why so early?

        Most things that happen in the UK are simply a copy of what US Stations have done for years and Heart is no exception last year for example WNIC started playing Christmas Songs and JAM Christmas cuts as early as 1st Nov !!!

          Without going too sideways, I'd say its just one of many examples of signs of a “sickness” in UK society today – much of which is the insidious replacement of traditional British values (be they English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Cornish, or whatever) by probably the worst and most crassly commercial and greed-ridden of US “traditions”.

          (Only exception to this rule – JAM !) :)

            Real Radio's digital service went All-Christmas last Friday. I turned it on at work in the pub this morning for the laugh… MTV was back on within seconds!!

            Here's some of WLIT's Christmas imaging from last year – wlit_xmas06.mp3

              Paul – your WLIT mp3 link isn't working :( (is this because it is still too early to hear Christmas jingles ??)

              Please can you repost. Thanks, Paul.

                  How many sleigh bells can they mix onto those cuts ??!!! I quite like Reelworld's AC packages however these are a bit over produced in that area.

                  Thanks though for posting them Paul – they do get you into the festive mood ! :)

                  Cheers, Paul.

                    Real Radio Digital (SKY 0146) not only has their Xmas collection playing but also their jingles too. I heard this one after the 1am news.http://jinglemad.com/e107_files/public/1195499253_828_FT51508_atomic_strings_xmas.mp3 filename:1195499253_828_FT51508_atomic_strings_xmas.mp3

                      Yes, I have heard the Christmas jingles and records on heart. I agree with every word you have written Wixy. Let's leave Christmas until December.
