Research Director Inc.’s Analysis and Demo Leaders, Seattle PPM’s Dec. 2014
A perennial all-Christmas station, KRWM rose to the top from a tie at #4 (4.9-6.2) but that wasn’t quite up to last year’s lofty 7.5 share.
CHRISTMAS DAY in Broadcast History
Born on Xmas Day were Rod Serling, Jimmy Buffett, WKRP's Gary Sandy, Barbara Mandrell, Sissy Spacek, and bandleader Leighton Noble, who lived out his retirement years in Victoria BC.
Trail BC got its own radio station when the experimental 10AT signed on; Milton Cross hosted the first Metropolitan Opera broadcast; Bing Crosby performed 'White Christmas' for the first time on NBC radio's 'Kraft Music Hall'; and Walt Disney made his first foray into TV.
Obits this day include Dean Martin, W.C. Fields, Eartha Kitt, Joan Blondell, and the 'Godfather of Soul' James Brown.
