WAWZ (Star 99.1)/New York Flips to All Christmas


WAWZ-FM (Star 99.1)/New York has made the Christmas music switch, marking the beginning of the Christmas season in the tri-state area. The station will play all-Christmas music through Christmas Day, giving listeners what they've been demanding for weeks.

"In Merry Christmas Charlie Brown, Linus shared, "that's what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown;" a baby born in a manger. That's why we're excited about playing all Christmas music, because we know who the Star of the season is!" said morning man Scott Valentine of "Star 99.1's Scott and Sam Morning Show."

Star 99.1 is New York City's only Christmas Music radio station that places an emphasis on songs that uplift and offer hope. The station plays Christmas favorites from Christian artists like MercyMe, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, and Newsboys to holiday favorites from the likes of Burl Ives, Bing Crosby, Andy Williams, and Dean Martin.

"Our listeners love Christmas music and have been asking for it for weeks. We're thrilled to go on-the-air with our unique mix of hope filled Christmas music," said Rick Hall, Star 99.1's Program Director.
