Boston Radio Watch reports WODS went all-Christmas, all-the-frickin'-time today, just minutes after traditional Xmas-till-you-drop rival WROR. Both were beaten this year by a Providence station.

Which station will go all-Christmas first?

The Boston Radio list reports that WROR afternoon guy Paul Perry is now ex-WROR afternoon guy Paul Perry.

I'm dreaming of an annoying playlist, done to death by Christmastime ...

Bob Nelson reports that WROR beat WODS this morning for the title of "First Boston Station to Start Playing Christmas Music Way Too Early." They must be so proud.

All Elton all the time

For some reason, Korte can't keep away from 105.7, despite a playlist focused on "Crocodile Rock:"

... Why am I listening to 105.7 WLAME, you ask? I am chronic channel-flipper. In spite of the fact that something listenable crosses 105.7 more infrequently than a bright idea crosses President Bush's mind, I keep it in the programmed channels. I guess last week's "Tainted Love" is keeping it afloat. It is almost a queer curiosity now... is 105.7 playing "Tequila Sunrise", or "Benny and the Jets"?

Yechristian relays the news that oldies DJ Austin of Boston (WODS and WROR) died over the weekend:

... I once asked him if he were working at a radio station in Poughkeepsie, what would he call himself? He simply giggled back. ...

His real name: Malcolm Soll. WROR reports a scholarship fund has been set up for his youngest son.
