Trivia:
The original log was filmed at New York City's Gracie Mansion, but when a spark set a priceless rug aflame, WPIX-TV was not allowed to use that particular fireplace. A lookalike fireplace was used in California, and that 1970 filming is the one that now airs every Christmas. more

A bit of NY History, 19 October 2004
Author: John Langbein (medrjel) from Dixie, USA

Wow. I can't believe no one has commented on this program.

For those who don't know, the show is a video loop of a log burning in a fireplace while holiday music plays in the background. In the early days, there was an FM stereo simulcast as well. Today, with stereo and dolby broadcasts the norm, it's not needed. However, it's still history.

Honestly, it's a corny program.

Honestly, it's a great memory and a part of my life.

We were fortunate enough to have a fireplace most years while I was growing up. However, we would still have the Yule Log on while we opened presents, even with our own "Yule Log" in the house. It was a nice reminder of the good fortune we did have and we did give thanks for it. It left the airwaves in 1989, and I left the area in 2000. I have just learned it is back on the air in NYC, and I couldn't be happier for everyone there. It's not action, it's not a story. It's a program for a time to have families be families together. May it grace the airwaves for generations to come... even if it's corny. :-)
