[Dec. 24] This year's annual daylong Holiday Radio Show promises to reward dedicated listeners for staying tuned in.

WPRB DJ Jon Solomon says he’s keeping his plans for this year’s annual daylong Holiday Radio Show “closer to the vest than usual,” because he wants dedicated listeners to be rewarded for staying tuned in. This time the broadcast will exceed past shows by one hour to celebrate the quarter-century mark. Twenty-five hours for 25 years of amazingly off-kilter Christmas tunes like Steve Schaer’s “Rudolph the Head Cocaine Dealer” and, from hip-hop’s resident Ghost of Christmas Wu, “Ghostface Xmas.” A wprb.com link to the studio webcam will allow anyone tuning in to also see just how crazy/awesome Solomon (who gives up coffee in December, by the way) has to be to pull off such a feat.
Tue., Dec. 24, 5 p.m. through Wed., Dec., 25, 6 p.m., WPRB 103.3 FM, wprb.com.
