BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Christmas music already? The sounds of the holiday season made their way to one Buffalo radio station's airwaves Tuesday.
Star 102.5 marked the unofficial start of the holiday season in Western New York, making the switch from variety to holiday music Nov. 1.
A post on the station's Facebook page early Tuesday morning said, "Ho Ho Ho! It's that time again! Santa just called the studio and told us to flip the switch! Star 102.5 is Buffalo's Christmas Station!"
"For the 22nd consecutive year, we got the call from Santa Claus and we flipped the switch and we are now Christmas 24/7," said Rob Lucas, radio host of 'Rob Lucas in the Morning'.
Lucas said the wall-to-wall Christmas music used to begin the day after Thanksgiving. That changed when Lucas said listeners started begging to start the holiday tradition even earlier.
According to Lucas, he listens to more than 2,400 to 3,000 songs by Christmas Day.
"By December 15th, I do get a little buggy, but I do not tell Santa," said Lucas.
You can listen to your favorite holiday tunes 24/7, just turn the dial to 102.5 FM.
You can also listen on the Audacy app or online at Star 102.5's website.
