Dueling Yule!
Sunday, December 17, 2006
Two yule logs will be burning on television this Christmas. For years, the burning log accompanied by Christmas music has been a staple of WPIX-TV in New York. But now it's got some high-def competition. This year, there will be the traditional log, burning since it was filmed by New York's WPIX-TV in 1970, and another that will air uninterrupted for 24 hours on INHD."The Yule Log" first began burning on WPIX in 1970 but was gradually cut down to two hours and moved to Christmas morning. Then, after it ran in 1989, it was canceled. After more than 10 years, "The Yule Log" was revived in 2001.
Since its return, "The Yule Log" has performed very well in the ratings and is even the subject of a one-hour special this year. This year it will air on WGN Superstation as well as 10 Tribune-owned stations around the country.
The newer yule log will be brought to us by Jason Patton, who works for INHD, a network that serves 24 million homes with high def sets. It's actually been airing since 2003 and will be broadcast for 24 hours starting 7am/EST Christmas morning.
