The first media to provide 24/7/365 access was radio. Today with voice tracking and other technology, holidays are easier on the announcing staff, but they were still all in today. Since they’re working, the sales staff is here, too.
There are 2 types of Christmas Eve hours – businesses that are closed and businesses that are swamped. And when they cease to be swamped, they’re closed, too. Neither wants to see a salesperson today. Black Friday is the same way.
There are commercials that need to be changed. No one wants to hear about Santa and gifts on the 26th. But those really should be done earlier, because the announcers need time to produce the commercials.
However in the name of treating everyone the same, here we all sit … wasting time.
