What Network is Frosty On?
The beloved animated holiday special, Frosty the Snowman, is currently airing on NBC. This marks a significant development in its broadcast history, as the special has long been associated with a different network.
First premiering on December 7, 1969, the classic Frosty the Snowman cartoon initially found its home on CBS. For decades, this network was where viewers traditionally tuned in to watch the enchanting story of the snowman brought to life by a magical top hat, with entertainer Jimmy Durante narrating the tale.
However, for the first time, Frosty the Snowman will be seen on NBC in December, signaling a new era for its annual holiday broadcast. This transition means audiences will now find this cherished animated feature on a new channel during the festive season.
