Those of us old enough to remember, back in the day, during the Christmas season, TWC would play both the Christmas music playlists and the regular music playlists. Why would they do both, instead of playing the Christmas playlist exclusively?

Actually, they mixed the Christmas songs in only in the beginning. When it got close to Christmas, it became 100% Christmas music.

Not in 1990. This video was on Christmas Eve.

I don't think they changed the Prime Time Tonight playlist during the holidays.

Technical error, I think.
No, I don't think so. Usually, when there's a technical error, music plays, but it stops and starts, even different songs in the same local forecast, playing parts of one song, then the music stops, then another song starts playing. But not in this case, the music plays through perfectly.

Ahem. I already gave you the answer. ;)

Occasionally songs played that weren't on the playlists through the years, emergency feed I suppose if a regular song failed to load properly in the computer system. There have been local forecasts with no music and sometimes they didn't make sense. Some years ago, early 2008 IIRC caught a local forecast that played some kind of creepy Halloween sound effects (wasn't even a song) :blink:.
Matt already answered my question. He said "I don't think they changed the Prime Time Tonight playlist during the holidays".

I remember in 1991 TWC play regular and holiday music and then switched to all Christmas within a few days of the 25th. In 1992 and forward it was all Christmas from December 10-11 all the way till Christmas Day (except for the occasional regular song airing on a BTF)

I actually remember in 1993, a mixture of the playlists on the 10-11, before switching completely over through the 25th.
