Longtime weatherman Rob Robin will present “The Rob Robin Christmas Eve Special” from 4-8 p.m. Robin will play some of his favorite holiday music and provide interesting weather facts about Christmases past in Southwest Louisiana. The program will end with a version of “O Holy Night” by local artist Chris Shearman. Sponsor for this program is St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in Lake Charles.

At 8 p.m., the 79^th presentation of Handel’s “Messiah” by the Lake Charles Messiah Chorus will air. This holiday tradition – recorded on Dec. 8 in McNeese’s historic F.G. Bulber Auditorium – is also available at www.kbys.fm

At 10 p.m., a holiday version of “School of Rock” will be presented by Ray Miles and Jeff Lemke. They will present a “Christmas Covers Show” that will feature rock artists who have put their spin on holiday classics.
