Just a reminder, the WPIX Yule log is on again From [FISHBOWLNY](http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/wpix-celebrates-45th-anniversary-of-the-yule-log_b47457) 🙂 “A longstanding WPIX holiday tradition is back! For the 45th year, viewers will be greeted by the burning Yule Log Christmas morning. The famous film loop of the crackling fireplace with a holiday soundtrack has been a Christmas staple on Channel 11 since 1966. This year it can be seen December 25 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.” ---

No need for the PIX broadcast, you can just get a Yule Log [on DVD](http://www.amazon.com/Original-Christmas-Yule-Log-Fireplace/dp/B0002MINTQ). Even better, in [Hi-Definition Blu-Ray](http://www.amazon.com/Yule-Log-Christmas-Fireplace-Blu-ray/dp/B001EXE31E). ---

> [@Cartoonacy](#): > > Nope, it’s on Pay Per View. I’m on Long Island. All weekend, the Cablevision grid has been listing “Yule Log” at various times on PPV1. I was replying to **ginman999** who says it’s on PPV on Comcast. I have Comcast in Tucson. No Yule log on PPV here, although it’s on On Demand for free. I guess it varies by area, but Comcast isn’t charging for it here. And they have had it for several years around holiday time.
