A Very Merry MeTV returns to MeTV WHIO Classic Television

It’s that time of year again, the season of turkey and tinsel... and TV specials! That’s right, A Very Merry MeTV is back with six weeks of holiday favorites.

Every Sunday, from now through Christmas Day, you can catch classic Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes from 5 p.m.  through 8 p.m. That’s right, three hours of cherished Yuletide programming.

We’re pulling some goodies out of Santa’s bag too. You’ll catch special presentations of ‘Cheers’, ‘Happy Days’, ‘Laverne & Shirley’, ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ and more!

• Rudolph, Frosty The Snowman, and more holiday programming return to WHIO-TV

It all leads up to holiday specials of ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
