Any stations still airing the Yule Log?

So far this year, I noticed that WPIX New York and WPHL Philadelphia are airing the traditional Yule Log. I also noticed that GMC is airing it starting at 8pm tonight and throughout most of tomorrow. Are any other local stations still airing it?
 
KUTP/45.1 Phoenix will be running it between 6 AM and 2 PM. Per usual, I'll turn the sound down and play my lame-pop-star-free Christmas music. ;D
 
By way of our Antenna TV subchannel, we'll have the yule log from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Christmas morning. Currently we're routing the yule log internet feed into one of our large newsroom monitors, just for fun.

Be sure to clean out your Yule Log flue. Lots of trailer fires this time of year. ;D
 
There's a Yule Log available on Netflix online.

P.S. don't let the clinkers back up. (A Christmas Story fans should get that one.)  :D

I live in an apartment, and the flue on my HDTV is perfectly clean. Hopefully, Phoenix's no-burn day is lifted by tomorrow so we can watch it legally. ;D

I called the manufacturer to find out how to clean my HDTV flue because it wasn't in my owners manual and they hung up on me!
 
As far as I know, OPB will still be airing their own version of it to-morrow morning.
 
I taped one several years ago and I'll use it to take my tree down. It's not in the same room as the tree but I'll be able to hear it. The music on last year's wasn't up to my standards.
 
KCAL 9 in Los Angeles has it scheduled for 6AM running two hours with Christmas music from CBS's 94.7 KTWV.

KTLA also has one at the same time. For your choice of Yule Log.

Merry Christmas all.  :)
 
Seattle: KCPQ/13 is all Log from 4-10 AM (largely in place of the morning news), while JoeTV runs it from 9-11 (silencing Wilkos and "Harry Swinger" for a day. Yippy!).

Across the border in Vancouver/Victoria, BC: CTV2 Logs us from 6-9 AM, the first hour being simulcast on CTV proper.
 
I just took a glimpse of GMC's Yule Log, and it seems to be all Gospel/sacred Christmas music. I'm assuming it's compiled from the music that normally plays on GMC, as I have not watched the channel enough to know what they play.
 
Both WGN-TV & subchannel Antenna TV will air the Yule Log. WGN-TV will air theirs from 2-6am, while Antenna TV will be on from 4-8am CT (add 1 hour if in ET, or 2 hours in AT (Atlantic Time), or subtract 1 hour if in MT, or 2 hours if in PT). Since putting up a new antenna, I won't be surprised if W25DW-D 25.1 (HSN) will be showing the Yule Log. I get W25DW-D from Gary, IN once again, since switching out my UHF antenna.
 
I still have a VHS from when our local public access channel pre empted all programming from Thanksgiving Day until New Years Day to air a fireplace scene. It was a wood burning fireplace, so every 20 minutes or so you can see a hand come on camera and add wood, or fireplace pokers move things around. The prpblem was it was only a 90 minute loop, and the music was synched up to it, so it was the same 90 minutes of fire and music every day for six weeks, and this aired for a good 7 or 8 years back in the 1990s!

Adding wood is supposed to take place during commercial breaks.

I used the audio from the 2 hours I taped several years ago as I took down my tree. Mostly classical versions of the traditional songs, with choirs similar in style to Harry Simeone Chorale where there were vocals. It was a big improvement over even Dial Global standards, which is not nearly as good as one would expect. And the last time I heard a Yule Log broadcast it wasn't much different. But I had no desire to listen to four or five good songs (if that many) on an AC and then have to change because of junk which was worse than the worst of Dial Global.

You'd think someone could do good music on the radio. Not long ago, a station 100 miles west of here did just what I heard this morning. Now it has been sold and the good music is online. I don't have sound on my computer (for one thing, the monitor had to be replaced and this one doesn't have speakers) or fast enough Internet for a stream, though I suppose if listening was all I was doing it might work.
 
Only it was on a public access channel, like Lehos said. How could they add wood to the fire during commercial breaks on a service that (assuming they followed standard operating procedure) doesn't have them?

You've said before that your network access isn't fast enough to do streaming. What kind of connection are you using?

You can get seperate computer speakers with built-in amplifiers to connect to the sound card just about anywhere that sells electronic equipment these days ($5 at your local Goodwill.) A stereo receiver ($30 at your local Goodwill) and a decent set of 8-ohm speakers ($15/pair at your local Goodwill) would work even better.

I thought of that. Can we just call it sarcasm?

Yeah, I don't like to complicate things further than they already are. You are also assuming I have money. That was already spent on the computer and the cheapest Internet my phone company has.
