Christmas music starts ... OCTOBER 15?

One radio station is using its HD and Internet streams.

More than two months before Christmas, CBS Radio is starting the holiday music derby -- but it's doing it on the HD-2 station of WOGL (98.1) and on various CBS websites: WOGL.com, 610WIP.com, TheBigTalker1210.com, KYW1060.com, and 94WYSP.com.

HD radios are required to hear the over-the-air signal. The station will be on from Thursday (10/15) through New Year's Eve. WOGL's HD2 station has an all-1970s format, thus depriving me of my disco.

The station is also available free on AOLradio or the Yahoo launchcast application on the iPhone.

Based on previous years' activity, WOGL will program some Christmas music on its usual, terrestrial 98.1 frequency, and B101 will get into the act, too.
