Yule Log in Boston?

[ssetta]

Just wondering, did the Yule Log ever air on Boston television? If so, which station aired it, and when was it taken off?

I don't remember it: isn't that just a NY thing?

WZMY (MyTV) began airing a virtual yule log last year. They continue again this year with a simulcast on Oldies 103.3.

I think WSBK used to air a virtual yule log.

Used to be. Now Tribune is showing it on its stations all over the county. Since Tribune doesn't own a station in Boston any Yule log they have in Boston isn't the real deal.

Tribune used to own channel 56 - but that was sold to Sunbeam earlier this year. So, the Yule log will probably go the way of the "Channel 56 News at 10" now.

How on earth do you simulcast a yule log? Would'n the crackling sound be confused with static?

I don't believe there's any crackling since it's just a computer animation... and it's MyTV. (Doing so would involve a little too much work).

Aww! Wasn't it a real fire in the old days?

I think the one time they aired it in Boston was on WKBG-TV channel 56 in 1975.
