WODS

103.3, 105.7 a bit late with early Xmas music this year

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.

It's 70 degrees out and 103.3 is playing Christmas music

Is it time for my annual boycott of Karen Blake already? Gah!

UPDATE: OK, they haven't gone to All Xmas All the Time yet, it's for some contest where they play "one of our many versions 'Santa Clause Is Coming to Town' " and if you're the 20th caller you win just enough money to replace the radio you've flung to the ground in disgust.

If WODS went off the air, would anybody notice?

Equipment failure knocked WODS off the air between 6 and 7 this morning.

A little bit of sunshine for you Al Kaprelian fans

Kaprelian will be doing the weather on Friday mornings on the :55s on Oldies 103.3 with Zito and Karen Blake.

Thanksgiving? What's that?

Scanning FM in the car just now, I heard Bing Crosby crooning a Christmas song. Yes, Oldies 103.3 has gone into all-Christmas mode just in time for Thanksgiving. Lin Dolin reports 105.7 thinks it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, too.

Let's all give a big hearty golf clap to WODS for its amazing self-restraint: Last year, they started in on this stuff on Nov. 6.

Which station will go all-Christmas first?

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.

Uncle Dale replaced by Uncle Bob

The Herald reports Oldies 103.3 is replacing Dale Dorman with Bob Lobel. Bob Lobel? Yes, Bob Lobel. He'll be hosting what the station describes as a "very fresh" drivetime show with Karen Blake. No word if it's all talk or if we'll get to hear Lobel introduce the music you grew up with.

No more Dale in the morning?

Dale Dorman out from drive time on Oldies 103? His photo is already gone from the Weekday Crew section of the station's DJ page.

Deck the halls with boughs of folly ...

Oh yeah, it's Veterans Day, so what better time for Oldies 103 to go all Christmas all the time?

Lost 45s DJ gets smacked around in Provincetown melee

Barry Scott vs. Provincetown police in complete disagreement as to why Scott wound up in the ER with a gouged nose after a police arrived at a party to shut it down over noise complaints.

Via Donna Halper.

No, no, no, no, no. Oh, by the way: No.

Hit the pre-set for Oldies 103 this morning. Instead of Martha Ray and the Vandellas or Dale Dorman, I got Bing Crosby crooning about Christmas.

GAH! It's not even Thanksgiving, people.
