    Any guesses for first song this year?

    I have a suspicion they'll go back to 'Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas' by Bing Crosby.

    Nope.

    They did the last 2 years but 'Its beginning to look like Christmas' has been the kick off song more than any other.

    I hope they go with 'It's beginning to look like Christmas' for the first song.

    Myself and a workmate issued a meeting invite yesterday for 12pm just so we are all present when Christmas FM goes live.

    Dj now on online just said they are sneaking onto the FM at 11am as a one hour build up to the launch. Live launch still at 12pm.

    I imagine the 11am FM hour will be a playlist as they get ready to launch.

    Listening in for the last half hour, the jumping around before the launch can be quite a distraction when trying to 'work' at the same time 😀

    2nd most used kick off song. Now just 1 behind Bing Crosbys 'Its beginning to look a lot like christmas)… which is the second song being played now!

    Got bored listening to the tests yesterday, heard the same songs/tunes twice and copped the loop so left it then.
