No wonder it was fully done when I tuned in at 10:35.
Let's get right to it.

While an early start for 10@10 seems to be the norm on holidays (and early in the SMM),
that is notably premature.

Also, there wasn't the usual commerical-free New Year's Eve party music.

I'll also note that, with A-to-Z starting Monday, they don't seem to be bothering with the top 104 songs of the year. The Peak did their Top 107 countdown last nite; Beck's "Dreams" was #1. I suspect KFOG's would be "Shut Up & Dance" or "Sedona", altho' it often seemed that their most-played songs this year were leftover from last year, like "Take Me to Church" and "Budapest".
