Christmas TV

Wow, how has Christmas TV changed over the years? With Satellite, cable and the internet your viewing opportunities are immense, but I lean for the old days when the choice was three channels and the radio.
Radio Time Xmas 1976
I pick 1976 to highlight the difference the BBC started their Christmas Day schedule at 8.40am with Ragtime over on ITV they also kicked off with carols at 8:15am. BBC 2 opened with Reflections 12.10pm.

We watch mainly BBC One on Christmas Day it was a tredistion in our house and for it to be turned over it would taking somethink special. Highlights of the night were Bruce Forsyth and the Generation Game and Christmas Show.

Has for today there are hundred of channels and the internet with soaps and reality shows fighting it out for the viewers, but the BBC tend to win that battle. TV was better back in the old days, we need to see some good old fastion variety show like The Morecambe and Wise.
