NBC Gets Broadcast Rights For Classic Holiday Animated Primetime Specials
CBS has acquiesced the broadcast rights to animated holiday classics Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman and both are slated to return starting early December 2024.
Frosty the Snowman
Network: NBC
Premieres: Thursday, Dec. 5 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT
A discarded magic top hat brings to life the snowman that a group of children made, until a magician, professor Hinkle, wants it back, and the temperature starts to rise. Frosty will melt or no longer be a jolly soul, if the kids cannot get him away from Hinkle and warm weather, so he hops a train to the North Pole with young Karen.
Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Network: NBC
Premieres: Friday, Dec. 6 at 8 p.m
The reindeer with the incandescent nose guides Santa’s sleigh through a bad storm on Christmas Eve. Based on the song by Johnny Marks.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
