2009 Mummers Parade On TV

Chicago’s superstation WGN will be airing the last two hours of the Mummers Parade in Philadelphia. In a brief statement from the station, a nice fellow named George said . . .

We’ll air the last two hours of WPHL’s coverage on Saturday, January 3 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern.

This will be good. It will solve the problems they encountered last year when they had a four-hour block of time set for the parade. It was WPHL’s camera coverage last year as well. But the problem was caused by a two hour rain delay of the parade, consequently, the two hours they showed ended before the best part of the parade, the string bands, came by. It was a bad case of paradeus-interruptus!

So on New Years day, for those of us out of the Philadelphia television market area, we can watch the games and other parades, and can catch the best of the Mummers Parade on Saturday. I’m down with that.

  1. Will the Mummers Day Parade be shown in Winter Haven Fl. It would be channel 8 out of Tampa Bay Fl. Thank you

  2. WPHL TV 17 is the only station I know of that is broadcasting the Mummers Parade. Hopefully, you are in the Philly TV market area and can watch it live.

    If not, you can tune in to Chicago superstation WGN at 2pm eastern on Saturday the 3rd.
