H E L L O , J I M H A M P T O N H E R E . You know, after working as an air personality at WXYZ, WJBK and WCAR in Detroit, I moved to WLS as Production Director. One of my assignments was to create a 12-hour Christmas special that the station could play and give the entire staff the Holiday off.
After I moved to Los Angeles to work in radio syndication, among the thousands of programs I produced were numerous Christmas specials. There were short-form features, long-form specials and 24 hour formats.
In addition to great Christmas music, all of the programs I produced were filled with special features, stories, comedy, the amazing comments of little children, and, of course, interviews with everyday people and superstar celebrities.
The program content includes Contemporary and Classic Christmas songs. From Mathis to Buble, from Whitney to Barbra, and from The Ronettes to Jose Feliciano.
Plus, there are numerous vignettes about how Christmas customs came about, lots of celebrity drop-ins (Clint Eastwood, Natalie Cole, Johnny Mathis and many more), Tom Murphy (otherwise known as “world-famous” Tom Murphy offers his Holiday anecdotes, there are old radio clips from classic performers of the 40’s (Jack Benny, Bob Hope, George Burns & Gracie Allen, to name a few), and the delightful, heartwarming and honest voices of little children reflecting on their favorite day of the year.
All in all, it is a 6-hour Holiday celebration for the whole family. It just may become the soundtrack of Christmas get togethers from now on. Hope you’ll join me tomorrow evening from 6:00 P.M. until 12 MIDNIGHT Christmas Day, for this special 2014 holiday event on Detroit’s 760-AM WJR.
Written, produced and hosted by Jim Hampton, AN ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS can be heard from anywhere in the world over iHeartRadio, wjr.com, and of course throughout the Midwest on NewsTalk 760 WJR.
Merry Christmas! – Jim Hampton
