Classical Christmas music

KDFC 102 FM is my favorite radio station. It is a commercial station in San Francisco Bay Area that broadcasts classical music 24 hours a day. It is also the radio home of the San Francisco Symphony and the San Francisco Opera. It is ranked among the top 3 Bay Area radio stations, and is the most popular classical station in the U.S.

On the weekdays, I wake up with its music at 5:30, indulge myself in the beautiful music for 15 minutes or so before I get up to get ready for work. Its music accompanies me at home and in the car. Whenever I travel out of town, I am always disappointed in the stations elsewhere.

During holiday season, it plays all-holiday blend of classical favorites through midnight on the 25th. You can listen it online with Windows Player, iTunes, or iPhone from KDFC Listen Online site. Here is the link http://www.kdfc.com/pages/743368.php.

On the first Sunday of every month at 8pm, KDFC broadcasts a full-length production of opera recorded live at San Francisco War Memorial Opera House, hosted by Dianne Nicolini. The link of San Francisco Opera on KDFC - http://www.kdfc.com/pages/743374.php.

The San Francisco Symphony on KDFC is another wonderful program that it plays highlights from the performances recorded live at Davies Symphony Hall. Here is the link http://www.kdfc.com/pages/743355.php.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Merry Christmas!
