Todd Newton sighting
JMFabiano:
I've started listening to 102.7 FM here in the NY area (recently undergoing an image change after the antics of Opie and Anthony), mostly cause they play nothing but Christmas carols for the holiday season. Well I've discovered that one of the DJ's on the station is none other than Todd Newton! Busy, isn't he?

In response to the question in the topic: Yes. :)

Todd's been doing a daily radio show for New York for close to a year now, and has been asked to stay on despite the fact that the station has changed programmers and formats during his tenure. He says he loves the gig; like most hosts and announcers, his roots are also in radio.
And for another "Newton Sighting", Todd is hosting the Reno "Price Is Right" stage show at least through the first week of December. The show has already been held over past the originally planned closing date, so if you've been wanting to see it, time is getting short. I plan on visiting a performance or two this week... Sunday, Monday, maybe Thursday. Say "hi"! ;-)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he doing his "what used to be called 'Blink'" gig from L.A.?
And why any radio station goes to Xmas music 24/7 before Thanksgiving is beyond me (heck, I read somewhere that some radio station down South went all-Xmas on Halloween).

It started a couple of years ago after 9-11 when a few stations decided to start early with the 24-7 ho-ho to try to ease tensions. (Just makes me more tense; I hate the season.) Apparently it got ratings and other stations have picked up on it.
