Disney's Christmas Day Parade

[boomhauer]

Hi all.

This only effects people in New England, but if anyone wants to help us out and send them an email, it would be greatly appreciated.

Our ABC station here in Boston, WCVB Channel 5, is NOT showing the Disney Parade at 10:00AM Christmas Morning, but instead showing it at 3:00AM, the night after Christmas. Instead, they're airing a weekly New England Patriots program.

If anyone would like to voice their displeasure to WCVB, please write them at this email address:

wcvbnews@thebostonchannel.com

Thank you all.

I heard the commercial for Patriots All Access earlier. Did I hear right they are showing it Christmas Eve and AGAIN on Christmas?

 

[boomhauer]

Not sure. All I know for certain is they're showing it when the rest of the country is showing the Disney Parade.

I just sent off the email. I'm so disappointed.

 

[CamColt]

Yep, I just heard the commercial again...7:00pm on Saturday and 10:00am Sunday. Is that really necessary?

Send them an email - Only way we can get anywhere is if enough people complain.

 

[CamColt]

Oh I'm going to! However from what I've been hearing there are many ABC stations across the country that will not be showing it Christmas Day due to "contractual obligations".

 

[boomhauer]

I can't believe that. The Xmas Parade has ALWAYS been on.

ABC is lame.

Channel 6 in Providence, RI will be airing it at 10:00a on Christmas Morning. I wish there was a way to see it!! Before cable, we got all 3 RI network channels on our TVs. I guess if I un-hook cable and us an antenna, I could get it.

I'm just so bummed.

I actually used to get Channel 6 with cabl;e, and they took it out. Jerks.

They aren't showing the Disney Parade in Orlando until 5 pm Xmas night and then they are showing it on an independent channel (BHN10)

Sorry folks but I bet the Patriots will draw bigger audiences than a christmas parade. TV stations strive for higher ratings with means bigger advertising sales.

 

[boomhauer]

ABC really dropped the ball on this one.

No it won't. Patroits All Acess never even cracks the top 50. The Disney Parade is always in the top 10 every year.

If you can somehow get the RI channels, then Channel 6, Providence is airing it at 10:00a. I haven't figured out how to get it though since our cable company doesn't offer all the RI channels anymore.
