DJ plays Wham’s Last Christmas 24 times in row after barricading himself in studio

An Austrian radio host was so determined to get listeners in the festive spirit he barricaded himself in a studio to play Wham’s Last Christmas, on repeat, 24 times, reports The Independent.

Joe Kohlhofer began his 8am drive-time show on Austria’s Antennae Carinthia station by blockading the door to the station with a wooden chair and telling his co-host he would be presenting on his own.

According to The Metro, the station received hundreds of angry calls complaining about the non-stop broadcast, and when it did not stop they took to social media to voice their annoyance.

He only stopped when his own four-year-old daughter was put on the line, saying she didn’t like the song. He said: ‘I wanted to play it all day, but because I love my daughter so much I gave in to her request.’

Three years ago in Germany in Baden-Württemberg presenter staged a similar action but only managed to play it 14 times before it was taken off air.
