With Christmas fast approaching it is good to plan and consider what music to play on your radio station this holiday season. There are some must have all times favourites and of course constant stream of new music. Have a plan on when to start playing Christmas music on your station too.
Christmas Music Quotes on Facebook
Back in August this year Facebook introduced an interesting new “posted about” feature. It can be a great tool to find out what’s popular amongst your friends and seems to be a competitor to Google+ and Twitter’s trends. In the last couple of days I’ve noticed that many of my Facebook friends (including radio stations and DJs) have started posting about Christmas music. A sure fire indicator that it’s time to dust off the festive songs and start playing them!
