Westwood One Offers Holiday Format


Westwood One is offering an All-Christmas music format for the holiday season now through January 1, 2023, that features the traditional Christmas classics. 

From the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Day, it will be lightly hosted with two "personality" breaks each hour between 10am and 8pm ET, so network and local Christmas imaging will never be more than two songs away.

The format emphasizes the original hit versions such as "White Christmas" from Bing Crosby and "The Christmas Song" from Nat King Cole, with an occasional cover song from contemporary artists like Kelly Clarkson. 

Other titles include "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" from Brenda Lee, "Feliz Navidad" from Jose Feliciano, "Merry Christmas Darling" from The Carpenters, "Wonderful Christmas Time" from Paul McCartney, "Do They Know It's Christmas" from Band Aid and "Last Christmas" from George Michael.

Additional featured artists include Mariah Carey, Mannheim Steamroller, Michael Buble, Ed Sheeran, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Amy Grant, Vanessa Williams, Gloria Estefan, The Eagles, Elton John and Harry Connick, Jr.
