The alternative to the official Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, CBS has decided to call it quits after a run of more than 70 years of broadcasting the event

CBS will not carry its unofficial coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year as part of an overall scaling back of holiday specials. In 2024, however, the parade is not on CBS’s official schedules as of this writing.

Parade viewers will see fewer Broadway performances on television this year. According to the official CBS schedule, CBS will not air the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade live in 2024.
