This Thanksgiving, the <\/em>Tennessee Crossroads Marathon will run across both our channels (NPT & NPT2) for 15-hours. Beginning at 7:oo a.m. on NPT2. After a twelve hour run on NPT2, the marathon will switch over to NPT at 7:00 p.m. for three more hours of your favorite <\/em>Crossroads episodes. For more detailed information on times and episode selection, visit the Viewer’s Choice Thanksgiving Day Marathon page on our website<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This time of year, folks are always talking about family and holiday \u201ctraditions,\u201d but what does that actually entail? Frying the turkey? Traveling over the river and through the woods to Grandmother\u2019s house? Fighting over the wishbone? Watching the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade or a little football on the television? Baking enough pies and cookies to feed a small country of sugar junkies? No one celebrates holidays the same, and even within our own families, traditions change and evolve. Well, this year, we here at Tennessee Crossroads<\/a> have started our own Thanksgiving tradition with the 2nd Annual Tennessee Crossroads <\/em>Viewer\u2019s Choice Thanksgiving Day Marathon.<\/p>\n

We could probably have picked all the episodes ourselves (we had some rousing discussions on possible programs) but ultimately, we want to make sure we air episodes that YOU want to see again. Last year<\/a>, we asked you to email or facebook<\/a> us with your suggestions for episodes we should include in the marathon. This year, we decided to go about the selection process a little differently. As part of the Tennessee Crossroads<\/em> team, I am often responsible for answering a variety of questions about our show. I can\u2019t count the number of times I have received emails and phone calls asking when we are going to be re-airing a particular Tennessee Crossroads <\/em>episode. Everyone has their favorite. So we culled through all your emails and voicemails, finally settling on a line-up consisting of the 17 most requested episodes from the past year to air for 15-hours on Thanksgiving day. We also prepared a new holiday-themed episode<\/a> to air during our regular 7:00 p.m. timeslot on NPT. It\u2019s our way of saying thank you for allowing\u00a0Tennessee Crossroads <\/em>into your homes week after week. We hope you\u2019ll include us in your holiday celebrations. We promise not to eat all the pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n

As an early Thanksgiving treat, Joe Elmore show us how to start (pun intended …. you’ll see) a marathon off right — Tennessee Crossroads <\/em>style! Enjoy!<\/p>\n
