The station apologized and posted the missed moment online, but it’s got everyone talking: Is the magic of live TV fading, or is this just part of the charm? Meanwhile, cities nationwide are making their own holiday memories, from Ashanti in Philly to Reba McEntire hosting in NYC. What’s your favorite tree lighting tradition, and does TV still matter for these events? #Entertainment #RockefellerCenter #Christmas2024
