A holiday TV staple is switching channels this year from the first time in half a century: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer will air on NBC this December after airing on CBS every year since 1972, NBC announced on Friday.
A special 75-minute edition of Rudolph will air Friday, Dec. 6 at 8/7c on NBC to mark its 60th anniversary. The stop-motion animated classic based on the beloved Christmas carol is closely associated with CBS, but it actually debuted on NBC back in 1964, airing there until it moved to CBS eight years later.
Plus, another animated holiday favorite, Frosty the Snowman, is moving from CBS to NBC as well, airing Thursday, Dec. 5 at 8:30 pm. Frosty, narrated by Jimmy Durante, debuted on CBS in 1969 and has aired there each year during the holiday season ever since.
