The Yule Log is a television program which is broadcast traditionally on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning ( except for the 1990s and the year 2000 when the program wasn't broadcast ), originally by New York City television station WPIX but now by many other Tribune Company-owned television stations, including WGN America, and by Antenna TV starting in 2011.

Beginning in 1997, WPIX offered various versions of The Yule Log on the Internet.

In 2003, Tribune Broadcasting, parent company of WPIX, announced that in addition to being broadcast in New York City, The Yule Log would be broadcast in additional U. S. television markets on other Tribune-owned television stations, and would also be broadcast by high definition television that year as well.

WGN America did not broadcast The Yule Log in 2010 and 2011, citing the economic infeasibility of devoting several hours to commercial-free programming on a national channel ; however, the program was broadcast locally by WGN-TV Chicago, and by the other Tribune-owned local stations.

There are also plans to broadcast The Yule Log on Tribune's new digital subchannel network, Antenna TV, beginning in 2011, bringing the concept to many more additional markets without dependence on WGN America.

In 2010, The Yule Log was broadcast on the Gospel Music Channel ( GMC ), for 24 hours starting at 8: 00 P. M. Christmas Eve until 8: 00 P. M. Christmas night.
