Following Apple acquiring exclusive rights to the Peanuts franchise which pulled the beloved Charlie Brown Holiday specials from broadcast television, Apple and PBS have announced a deal which will allow the specials to air on public broadcasting.
Fans of the specials which include a Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course Christmas special had started a petition to bring the classics back to broadcast television.
Bringing the Peanuts specials to PBS comes with an added bonus for viewers – no commercials.
“A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” will air on PBS and PBS Kids on November 22 at 7:30 pm, while “A Charlie Brown Christmas” will air on PBS and PBS Kids on December 13, 2020 at 7:30 pm ET.
