Banning Christmas on the radio

John McAdams wonders why WRIT (95.7FM)in Milwaukee plays nothing but secular Christmas songs, and WMYX only plays a few religious Christmas songs. Both are Clear Channel stations, but sister station WOKY has religious songs on their Christmas playlist, so it is clearly not a Clear Channel policy. He's also disovered many of the secular songs are by artists who have recorded religious songs, so it's not just a matter of which artists WRIT chooses to play.

He's attempted to contact the program director at WRIT without success. If you would like to e-mail Jeff Lynn the program director, his e-mail address is: jefflynn@clearchannel.com. The phone number for WRIT is 414-545-8900. Their mailing address is 12100 W. Howard Avenue, Greenfield, WI 53228.
