The first show was broadcast at 9 pm, on CBS on Christmas Eve, 1955 and it was carried by some 200 stations along with hook-ups on the CBC, AFRS, and VOA for a truly global listening experience. For the ‘around the world’ aspect, the program included cut-in’s of carols and hymns from France, Rome, and Canada, along with stops in the U.S. at St. Louis, Salt Lake City, and Hollywood. The show was scripted as though it was ‘live" and listeners heard Crosby introducing his own songs and choirs from other parts of the world as though it was all happening on Christmas Eve.
