Jon Solomon’s Holiday Radio Show on WPRB.


Here’s everything you need in one location while Jon Solomon hosts his 33rd-Annual 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show LIVE FROM HOME on WPRB between 5:00 pm ET on Christmas Eve and 6:00 pm ET on Christmas Day.

Festive requests? Email jon@wprb.com! There is no request line in 2021.

Listen to the marathon at 103.3 fm WPRB or by clicking here.

If you’re in the terrestrial broadcast radius, tuning in via an actual radio is preferable so as to not keep those far away from accessing the web stream.

The 2021 Xmas Playlist will be updated throughout the program at wprb.com. You can find the Live Listener Chat there too!

Expect a new “Christmas Story” each hour!

You can follow Jon on FacebookInstagram and/or Twitter.

Don’t forget to use the hashtag #wprbxmas!
