Radio Ratings Prove That Bill O’Reilly Is Wrong About Christmas


Bill O’Reilly is wrong.  Again.

The mantra like chant of O’Reilly in December about how the demise of Christmas was underway because of liberals and progressives made me snort eggnog through my nose.  There is no basis for his argument, but there is ample proof he is wrong.

The latest evidence I offer to refute O’Reilly, one of FAUX New’s entertainers, is from radio ratings across the nation concerning the month of December.  Having once worked in radio, I still enjoy reading about radio stations and finding out what is working, and what fails to attract listeners. 

I discovered that all Christmas music stations were a gigantic ad revenue maker (again!), and highly popular in several markets that I reviewed.   In Philadelphia WBEB doubled its December ratings from 8.2 to a wild 15.8.  Arbitron also shows that Houston’s KODA (we had a fake radio station in broadcasting school with those call letters) went from 5.2 to 8.9 on a Christmas format.  WLTW-FM, in the godless soulless darkness of New York (O’Reilly’s type of lingo) even showed success jumping from 6.1 to 8.2. 

There is but one reason jokers like O’Reilly like to stump on the bandwagon that somehow Christmas is disappearing.  That is because conservatives need new schlock to work with when the public burns out on the old crap they are constantly served on right-wing radio, and FAUX News.

The facts have never supported O’Reilly about his Christmas rants.  But the facts also have never stopped him from making a jackass out of himself.

  1. Do you actually listen to conservative talk radio or are you waiting for “Air America” to come back? Conservative talk radio has plenty to talk about. The Democratic field of candidates, particularly John Edwards, “Hero of the Working Man”, provide them plenty of fodder. Yes, there is a War on Christmas, the ACLU wants to sue Christmas into the next world. Christmas is about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ whom died for us all. If we just “Poo-Poo” the whole thing away then yes in ten years or less we will be celebrating “Winter Solstice” and me and my family will probably be going to Christmas Services in the Pastor’s bunker…
