Christmas Music
From 2007 through 2011, WROR-FM broadcast an all-Christmas music format during the holiday season. Also, from 7-8 p.m. on weekdays, kids can call Santa Claus and talk to him about what the kids want for Christmas by phone. Kids can also email Santa Claus. The all-Christmas music format was competitive, with WROR and rival WODS often starting the Christmas music within hours. In 2011, for example, WODS started playing Christmas music on November 10, and WROR changed within an hour. Holiday music could start as early as November 6 (as was the case in 2008) and as late as November 18 (in 2010), and usually ends around December 26. After WODS changed its format in 2012, Greater Media elected to move the all-Christmas format to WMJX as of December 5, 2012 (that station had previously offered such programming in 2005); however, WROR continues to incorporate Christmas music into its normal format during the holiday season, and the station continues its Santa Claus program.

“Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses,
A box where sweets compacted lie;
My music shows ye have your closes,
And all must die.”
