K-Earth To Unwrap 'Top 100 Christmas Hits of All Time'

Picture this. It's late on Monday, Christmas Eve. Midnight is minutes away. Santa is delivering his gifts. You're weary preparing for the big holiday, but can't fall asleep yet. You turn on the radio looking for music to match your mood. 

And then at midnight, on classic hits K-Earth 101, you find it – Wink Martindale's "Top 100 Christmas Hits of All Time." Eight hours of commercial-free songs compiled from Billboard and Cashbox Top Hits Listings. Mariah Carey, the Lettermen, Bryan Adams, Bing Crosby, Amy Grant, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley – they are all there, and more, and for fun, there are novelty hits from Stan Freberg and Spike Jones. 

Martindale, host and one of the producers, said, "I consider it one of my most prized achievements in radio." As I have noted here before, The Winker is well known for his audio-biographies on the old KMPC/710 AM and this is clearly another hit for the radio-TV broadcaster. This special is more than just playing the hits stories accompany each song to bring listeners unforgettable moments. 

"The Top 100 Christmas Hits of All Time" is syndicated by Radio Express whose CEO Tom Rounds first teamed with Martindale on "The Elvis Presley Special." The Christmas show will be heard on stations nationwide.
