So will WNUV-54 Baltimore.

BTW how long has Boscov's sponsored it?

Boscov's picked up the sponsorship a few years ago after, I believe, Mellon PSFS had the title sponsorship sometime up until the mid-1990s. Dave Roberts made mention of this being the 21st year that Santa and Co. ended the parade at the steps of the Art Museum.

I really am sort of glad that Disney hasn't completely stripped the parade out to all of the O&Os/ABC stations. It's a local parade with a little big time feel. It should stay as such, I think.
 
WSWB - 38 out of Scranton, PA airs it as well IIRC...

Which is kinda funny as WNEP 16 would still air a repeat broadcast of Regis and Kelly meanwhile, you know that Kelly is hosting the Philly parade live...

IIRC, Boscov's picked up the naming rights after Gimbels went under, Im thinking sometime late 80's-Early 90's.

Then again, I remember a few years where it was just the "6-ABC Thanksgiving Day Parade", but cannot recall for certain.
