no need to worry; she and Brian Williams both mentioned that their programs are piloting broadcasting from "satellite studios" so they can ensure programming will continue should more drastic measures be taken in NYC . Brian looked ashen which made sense once he explained he wasn't on the normal set. So I don't know if they have abandoned most of 30 Rock or not but you can see behind the daytime anchors there is hardly anyone in the live newsroom. I don't know if that means all of MSNBC would broadcast from these studio(s) in that emergency situation or just certain programs. I could also see some people relocating to less-affected bureaus to broadcast. Who knows right now.

The Christmas List and Three Days are 2 of my old favorites from the Family Channel/Fox/ABC family era. Occasionally those have aired in the late spot after 700 Club at midnight/11 CT. I have also been able to find both of them on YouTube before. Maybe they will get a late late showing this year.

For those trying to decide if they should get Hallmark Drama temporarily I can tell you they are mainly showing all the Hallmark Hall of Fame Christmas movies going back to the late 90's with A Season for Miracles. Basically they are airing what HMMM used to air before their Miracles of Christmas branding. Also I see in the guide movies like Once and Twice Upon a Christmas, Christmas in Canaan, the Peter Falk trilogies of Finding John Christmas, Town Without a Christmas and I forgot the third movie's name. So if those are your thing you might consider it. Otherwise I wouldn't get it. I really missed all of those movies and already am in the middle of a 3 month free preview with my provider for the package HM Drama is in. Otherwise I wouldn't have it.

For those that were looking for Mrs. Miracle it may be airing on Hallmark Drama 10/29 @ noon central and then it says at 2 a.m. central that same day. I know the schedule is messed up because they started a week early. This is according to Directv guide.

It's great that the "older" (only from 2001!) movies are coming back. I wish more could access HM Drama though. If you see anything else that hasn't been aired in a while please share! I bet they are going back to at least 98 I think that's when a Season for Miracles and Saint Maybe were made. Further than that and my memory is fuzzy...didn't they air a John Denver movie and I also remember the Christmas Box and Timepiece from the mid 90's.

I feel like Lifetime is to blame TBH. They must be digging DEEP in their vault to be starting so early. Movies like Ebbie, If You Believe and some of the more obscure movies that they used to show on LMN will be dusted off for sure. I always thought HM had many more holiday movies than Life but maybe that was just a misconception on my part. Maybe they've made a bunch of new acquisitions this year? I agreed elsewhere that HMM should try to counterprogram with mysteries since they now have 2 other all Xmas channels plus the movie app.

Salty DVRs out there is the best thing I have read today lol 😆

I swear when I went home to look at the guide it showed the crossword mysteries movie you are all referring to coming on before or after the good witch. It was the Directv guide so maybe it hasn't updated yet? I've never watched the crossword mysteries so I don't know what I speak of.

HMM countdown clock during the last hours of Diagnosis Murder for 2+ months. Bye Dr. Sloan! I remember when I thought it was revolutionary for the main HM channel to switch to 24/7 Xmas and postpone the Frasier Golden Girls I Love Lucy reruns until January.

I checked when I went home for lunch and Hm Drama is all Christmas and it is the classic favorites that have been missing! I dont have the Hallmark Movies now app and didn't know that's where they went. I already pay for 3 Hallmark channels I don't think I can justify the app too. Looking forward to Silver Bells Fallen Angel and Saint Maybe. Also the countdown clock is up on HMM. So begins my annual ritual of hiding my early Christmas movie viewing and music listening from my spouse. Music hasn't started yet but last yr 2 radio stations were all Christmas starting on Thanksgiving. We have a rule that I always break that nothing is allowed before Thanksgiving. Hallmark and now Lifetime make that impossible for me. I wasn't looking that forward to the movies starting early but the classics on drama have sucked me back in. At least I can come here to discuss lol.

I will be going home at lunch to let the dogs out and will absolutely be checking the Directv guide to see if this is true! I was caught off guard by Lifetime starting this week and couldn't believe they beat HM to it. I thought HM wasn't starting until next Friday? If HM Drama is really going to be showing all the "classics" like Silver Bells and Fallen Angel this year it will be the only channel I will watch this season. I've not been able to warm to the newer movies that the main channel and HMM show. I thought HMM used to have 1 day a week during their marathon that was dedicated to Hall of Fame selections but they seem to have dropped that the past few years. Just discovered this sub forum today!
