Another U.K. Christmas

Okay, I finally managed to hear the U.K.'s KMFM Ashford, one of the few international stations doing all Christmas over-the-air, as opposed to on a DAB channel or Web-only station. The 45 minutes I've heard so far are more like an American AC station's Christmas in terms of vintage and texture, but still considerably more eclectic than our holiday formats. Here's the station just before 7 p.m. tonight:
Britney Spears, "Santa Can You Hear Me"
Westlife, "White Christmas"
Vanessa Williams, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"
Ashanti, "We Wish You A Merry Christmas"
Beach Boys, "The Bells Of Christmas"
Tony Bennett, "My Favorite Things"
Pretenders, "2000 Miles"
Stevie Wonder, "The Christmas Song"
Paul McCartney & the Frog Chorus, "We All Stand Together" (1984 childrens novelty)
Andy Williams, "Happy Holiday (Medley)"
Bruce Springsteen, "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"
Pogues & Kirsty MacColl, "Fairytale Of New York"
Melanie Thornton, "Wonderful Dream (Christmas Is Coming)"
