What we publish, and where each part came from

What we say	Read from	When
Description Christmas Classics is one of about eighteen holiday channels run by 181.FM, an internet radio network based in Waynesboro, Virginia, and it holds the traditional end of the songbook. The network hives Christmas rock, country, gospel, swing and soul off into their own streams, which leaves this one free for carols and the orchestral, crooner-era arrangements that turned those songs into standards, from the likes of Henry Mancini and his orchestra. It streams at 128 kbps and stays on air all year rather than only in December.	181.FM, Christmas Classics web player	2026

What we corrected

Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.

Field	Change	Why
title	181.FM - Christmas Classics what it said before was not recorded; the reasoning usually states it	Stored name drops the network prefix; 181.FM's own player and the stream's icy-name both identify the channel as 181.FM Christmas Classics
country code	US what it said before was not recorded; the reasoning usually states it	It is 181.FM's Christmas Classics channel from Waynesboro, Virginia, not American Samoa
homepage url	https://www.181.fm/ what it said before was not recorded; the reasoning usually states it	Stored value was http; the network's own site loads over https

What we found and did not publish

Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.

What we could have said	Why we did not
the support email address	the sweep rule forbids copying an actual email address into this file, and it is published only as an image in any case source
the site is a React single-page app whose shell ships only metadata	I read the router out of the main JS bundle to establish that /support and /chat are real declared routes rather than guessed slugs, then confirmed the email image and the chat page both return real files source

If you think something here is wrong

Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
