This Friday is Christmas, and nothing says Merry Christmas more then watching television, with –or without your family. Here’s a look at what’s airing on local Capital Region channels, as well as what movies will be airing on cable.
Local Channels:
WRGB/CBS6 will be airing Melodies of Christmas at noon and 5pm, meaning there will only be a local 6:30pm newscast on CBS6. At 1:30 CBS6 will be airing An All Dogs Christmas Carol.
On WTEN, The Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade will be seen at 10am. There will be no local evening news on WTEN, because of basketball, starting at 2:00pm with the Boston Celtics at Orlando. Then at 5pm the Cleveland Cavaliers will play the Los Angeles Lakers. World News will air at 7:30pm. ABC will be airing Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest at 8pm.
On WNYT there will be no morning newscasts, which is smart because who is up at 5am Christmas morning. Scratch that, who is up at 5am to watch the news. At 5am WNYT will air Christmas Mass from the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. At 6am WNYT will air Happy Holidays America. There will be no newscast or Friends on WNYT, as the Northway Fellowship Church Special will air starting at noon. Starting at 3pm, NBC will air a Skating Special: Improv On Ice. Oprah will air at 5pm, which means there will be no 5pm newscast; only a half hour 6pm newscast on WNYT. At 8pm NBC will air SNL Presents A Very Gilly Christmas.
On WCWN, the Capital Region’s CW will air the Northway Fellowship Church Special at 8am and noon. The CW has CBS6 News scheduled at 9am, however I have a feeling that my not be a live newscast, but a re-air of Jerry Gretzinger‘s Take A Break Special that aired on Thanksgiving. At 9:30am and 6:30pm Melodies of Christmas will air. The Holiday River Parade will air at 11am. At 9pm the CW will air Grandma got Run over by a Reindeer.
