Poll: When is it acceptable for radio stations to start playing Christmas songs?

Is it too soon to be hearing Wham! or Mariah Carey back on the air?

CHRISTMAS FM RETURNED to the airwaves at the weekend bringing festive songs on a full-time basis, if that’s what you want.

But when is it okay for other radio stations to start playing the Christmas hits in advance of the 25th? Is it too soon to be hearing Wham! or Mariah Carey back on the air?
