On Tuesday, as temperatures in Cincinnati soared into the 80s, one local radio station dusted off its Christmas records. STAR 93.3, Cincinnati’s Christian music station, began playing Christmas music Tuesday morning. It’s the first radio station broadcasting the sounds of the season this year. Other radio stations in the Queen City also play Christmas music, notably Warm 98. However, most stations do not begin holiday broadcasting until after Thanksgiving. Why start playing Christmas music so early? “By playing Christmas music, we provide an open door to folks who may not have ever listened to STAR 93.3. It allows us to showcase what we’re about and hopefully keep them listening come December 26,” the station wrote on its website.
