A radio host was so determined to get listeners in the festive spirit he barricaded himself in a studio to play Wham's Last Christmas, on repeat, 24 times.

Joe Kohlhofer began his 8am drive-time show on Austria's Antennae Carinthia station by blockading the door to the station with a wooden chair and telling his co-host he would be presenting on his own.

Patricia Jordan could apparently only watch through the glass partition as Kohlhofer took calls from listeners begging him to stop playing the song, which was put on loop for almost two hours.

And according to Austrian media reports, the DJ only gave up his Christmas protest when his own four-year-old daughter was put on the line, saying she didn't like the song.

What will happen next to Kohlhofer remains unclear. The station claimed the stunt was unplanned, and deputy programme director Tommy Schmid told Austria's Kurier newspaper that the host could face "consequences".
