WOW that stinks!!!. I watch the parade while getting the stuffing ready on Christmas morning.

I am recording to watch it again too.

I just checked tvguide onloine & the DC (channel 7) & Baltimore (channel 2) ABC channels online. Only the DC station is carying the Disney parade this morning at 10 a.m. We're taping it on two vcrs - one for us & one for friends who won't be getting it at all. So New Englanders aren't the only ones not getting the parade at 10 a.m. today.

Probably more likely, at least with regard to Channel 5, a strong business decision. Programming about the NE Patriots attracts a far more rewarding demographic. Just look at what it is on up-against: the venerated political talk-fest Face the Nation, and Endurance: Tehacapi (a children's version of Survivor). There are an awful lot of old-fashioned guys who will be looking for something to watch while their wives are cooking Christmas dinner!

They may also have advertising agreements for that show. Even though Disney fans want to watch the parade, I have a feeling it's not a big overall ratings grabber. Especially vs a football show this time of year in New England that probably has a regular audience. At least they are going to play it at another time, better than not at all.

I feel your pain. It's not being aired here - at all. I wish we'd get it at least sometime - even 3am.

I emailed our local affiliate and got this response.

Great to know that I was not the only Richmonder upset with this decision. I think they still could have aired it in the wee hours of the morning of 12/26..I could have recorded it...better late than never.

Here in Toronto it was on at 10am, 11 and 12 on multiple channels. It was also on in high definition.
