In 2007, we debuted the Sounds of Christmas, an Internet Christmas music station, on Live 365. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
The Sounds of Christmas was the #1 new Christmas music station in 2007. Out of 166 Christmas stations on Live 365, we were number three over all.
We reached over 3 million listeners in 131 countries and were sponsored by Mannheim Steamroller (who’s new Christmas CD went platinum in less than a week after their debut on our station that Fall - admittedly, I have no doubt that they helped us more than we helped them).
From 2008 to 2020, we returned and our audience grew to just shy of 6 million. Mannheim Steamroller continued sponsoring us. And so have Engelbert Humperdinck and LeAnn Rimes. Plus, we’ve also welcomed new sponsors including Grammy-winning artists Shelby Lynne and Larry Carlton, American Idol winner Scotty McCreery, New York Times Best-Selling authors Lauren Willig and Rita Mae Brown, America’s Got Talent champion Terry Fator and classic rock legend Tommy James!
We’re looking forward to bigger and better things for 2021.
The Sounds of Christmas begins each season, broadcasting officially, on November 1, and running through the end of the year, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We play more Christmas music than anyone else – a better selection and a wider variety – with thousands of songs in our playlist.
The Sounds of Christmas is heavily promoted and supported by online communities on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (with avid supporters among artists, bloggers and fans).
Advertising on the Sounds of Christmas is a great way to reach a large audience that loves Christmas music (and are already online, just a click away from buying your CDs and downloads). It’s also an opportunity to build brand visibility and loyalty, and drive traffic to your website (which will even be open on Christmas Day)!
While the Sounds of Christmas does have a worldwide audience, the majority of listening happens in the United States.
Throughout October, we celebrate the Halloween season with spooky songs. Starting on November 1, we return to the Best Variety of Christmas music, including hundreds of new songs!
