For year's the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was on the T.V. Not so this year.
They were on PBS.
Rub it in! LOL!
I have DIRECTV and I never can find PBS.
Slam! There; now that’s over.
SPOTLIGHT THE ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

‘Christmas With the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’
9 p.m. on PBS (Channel 9)
It’s Christmas Eve, and television — which started with the holiday specials around Thanksgiving — has just about run Christmas into the ground. But because some of you might be yearning to watch one more version of “A Christmas Carol,” or one final “Grinch,” writing an everyday set of Critic’s Picks seems wrong somehow. So here, minus the 41-cent stamp, is a little Christmas card from me to you.
What’s more Christmas-y than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? How about the choir, carols and Sissel? The Norwegian singer joins the choir for a holiday concert, getting a repeat airing. Musically speaking, PBS has also scheduled “The Three Tenors Christmas” for 7 p.m. and “Christmas at Belmont,” featuring both carols and secular songs, for 10 p.m.

I understand that I could get it online, I like the old fashioned way, watching the choir sing in person with all the festivities that surround them.
I have a CD of the choir but we always had the choir up on the television so you could see them singing and pick out the sopranos and altos. It was just nice viewing.
Christmas 2007
I should have tried PBS. LOL
The Church also has it’s own channel - BYU channel 374 on my Direct TV - a lot of great programming - and of course they had the Choir on Christmas
I don ‘t have Direct TV but thank you for your input.
“CHRISTMAS WITH THE MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR FEATURING SISSEL airs Wednesday, December 19, 2007, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET with an encore broadcast Monday, December 24, 2007, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET on PBS. An annual holiday event, last year’s concert was billed as the highest-viewed holiday program in the PBS schedule.”
See link in previous post.
Their concert was shown here at midnight on Christmas Eve/Morning on Metro TV, a lovely show with the singer Sissel, some beautiful carols.
Where am I? Jakarta, Indonesia!
Seems like the world’s most populous Muslim country did better than where you are.
I am so wrong that it was not on TV. I just never thought to put on PBS. I know that in year’s past that I did not watch the choir sing on PBS. It was on the MSM channels. I thank you for helping me and next year I will watch the PBS channel.
I watched them this year.
They were on channel 4 (PBS - WUNC) in Chapel Hill, NC on Christmas Eve.
years past, you could find true Christmas programs all day, all night....now, all you get is "A Christmas Story " marathon...which is a good movie but not all day, all night..
what really bothers me though is the radio programing..used to be able to have Christmas music on most stations...now, there was only one plus the Christian channel that played Christmas music....and the non-Christian station played commerical Christmas music, not religous music...
I agree..I don't like these times....most of tv and most all tv commercials are insane and insulting...
Thank you.
My mom talked about seeing them on TV the other night
Good for that mod...any freeper takes the war on Christmas serious is ok in my book.
Belated Merry Christmas to both of you
