It’s almost time for RCN TV’s annual Christmas Takeover<\/a>, full of special holiday programming, classic shows and movies airing non-stop Christmas Eve through 9:00am on December 26.<\/p>\n

In anticipation of this special event, we asked the RCN TV crew<\/a> what show or movie they are most excited to see for this year’s “Takeover.”<\/p>\n

Rick Geho: For me it is the Christmas Lights and the Steckel School “Holiday in Song” programs.<\/p>\n

Patti Ditzel: Mine is “The Ditzel Sisters’ Christmas Special!”<\/p>\n

Chris Popik: “Christmas Lights with Bill White 2020” since it is locally produced by RCN TV and features various homes every year.\u00a0 Also, it will look different this year due to Covid-19 protocols requiring us to interview the homeowners via Zoom.<\/p>\n

Jack Ebner: For both my wife and I, our favorite has to be the local production of “The Nutcracker.”<\/p>\n

Paul Lewis: The new and older Christmas Lights shows, the Moravian Putz, and the Bacon “Yule Log.”<\/p>\n

Chris Michael: My whole family always enjoys watching the “Christmas Shopping: 1955” edition of \u201cThe Jack Benny Show\u201d as well as the very underrated movie, \u201cThe Christmas Wish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Merari Kingsley: The “Nuestro Valle” Christmas choral program.<\/p>\n

Chris Zaia: All of the “Christmas Lights” episodes.\u00a0 It is really exciting to see the changes to our TV production from year one until now.<\/p>\n

Jim Frick: “The BASD Christmas Special” and the Seibert Church Christmas Cantata: “The Wonders of Christmas.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
