Great Pumpkin, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" no longer on TV

(WANE) — You won’t find the classic Charlie Brown holiday specials on broadcast television this year.

The Peanuts animated classics, including “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” will stream on AppleTV+ through a deal with WildBrain, Peanuts Worldwide and Lee Mendelson Film Productions, making Apple “the home for all things Peanuts,” according to a news release.

“A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” are also included.

The holiday specials have aired annually on broadcast television since the 1960s.

Worry not, though. Families can still watch the holiday specials for free during limited windows around each holiday, Apple said.

“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” Halloween special will be available for free on the Apple TV+ service from Oct. 30 until Nov. 1.

... but it may also be a hardware device that's LIKE a Roku box. I'm not sure.

Especially those with lower-income. It's a sad that everything basically that's just becoming exclusive to a streaming service now. Way to fuck a tradition up Apple
