Don't turn on your favorite local channel expecting to watch the Peanut's "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving". Apple acquired the rights to those holiday specials in 2020 putting an end to them airing on your local affiliates.

You will need to check it out on Apple TV+ and have a subscription. As a heads up... "A Charlie Brown Christmas" will be the same way. Not to mention "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" too. So don't forget! Happy Thanksgiving!

Most people eat A LOT of food and then settle in to watch football. This is all after many people also watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade from New York that morning. I will say I have never been a person into parades. I find them boring to watch - especially on TV!

When it comes to food, I try to keep myself in check so I don't over eat and feel like crap the rest of the day. As for football, I am not one for the NFL, so I prefer to watch a college game. I generally spend the afternoon TRYING to stay awake after eating. Keep in mind, this is even watching what I take in to try to not pass out after the big meal.

I almost always fall asleep for a couple hours, wake up groggy, maybe fall asleep again, wake up, try to play a game with family, then go home before I fall asleep yet again! Happy Thanksgiving!

and a hockey game broke out! LOL! That old dad joke isn't so true anymore. Over the weekend, I had a great time at Saturday night's Monsters game against the Rochester Americans. It has been a few years since I have been to a hockey game. The game has changed a bit.

It took until almost the very end of the 1st period for either team to get the first penalty! I don't think the first fight was until the 2nd period...if you can call them fights anymore. It used to always be that the refs would wait until the players were down on the ice and then try to break it up. NOW, they are in there breaking up the fight immediately. BORING!!!! haha

Still, it was a great night of hockey fun at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. I recommend going if you have a family. It's a great night out, and you can get in for a very decent price too.

There are not many things cuter than baby animals! The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is celebrating the births of more right now! First, they recently had a baby Koala born. Now, it is the Tiger's turn! Yes! The Tigers had a pair of cubs recently and are going to be staying inside with mom for about 2-3 months according to the zoo.

We should be able to see all of the cuteness early in 2024! YAY! 

Since Thanksgiving is next Thursday, I figured this would be a wonderful time to bring this up. My mom was trying to plan out dinner for next week and asked if I wanted Turkey or something else. I am not the biggest fan of Turkey. I don't hate it, but I rarely eat it - usually this time of year. She gave me the choices of Turkey, Pork Chops, Ham, or something else - even dining out!!!

I gave it some thought and responded that since she already has some Turkey breasts in the freezer, we will go ahead and eat those. I tend to get more of the side dishes anyway - the corn, stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls, etc.

I also do not like Pumpkin Pie. Cannot stand anything Pumpkin. So I will gladly take a Chocolate Cream or Apple pie for dessert. Happy early Thanksgiving and enjoy all the food!

Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen were both recently named Songwriter of the Year at the BMI Country Awards held last week. 

They were both very happy to share the award with each other, and then while on stage together, Luke decided to break into his own version of Morgan's song "Thought You Should Know".

Check out the moments and Luke Combs' very cool version of the song here.

Now that we are about one week out from Thanksgiving, it's basically time to get in the spirit of Christmas...I know!!! A great way to do that is to head out to the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds to drive through their light display!

It's 2 miles of wintery Christmas fun with millions of different lights and many displays to wow the whole family! I have been through the displays they've had in the past and it is an amazing experience no matter how old you are. Don't forget that if you book a carload pass by December 7th, you will be helping to raise money for NEOPAT through the Tree of Lights charity as well! 

All details are right here at the website! Check it out and enjoy the lights :)

Morgan Wallen may not have won any awards last week at the CMA's, but he DID put on a great performance with tonight's Keep it or Kick it song..."Man Made A Bar" featuring Eric Church!

As always, give the song a listen and then let me know what you think. EITHER WAY! DON'T HOLD BACK! We REALLY want to know if you'd like for WQMX to keep the song or get rid of it ASAP!

Tune in tonight at 9:00 to the New @ 9 for the New Song Spotlight with Morgan Wallen ft./Eric Church "Man Made A Bar".

By the way...While Morgan Wallen didn't win any CMA awards, he IS up for 17 Billboard Music Awards that will be passed out this coming Sunday, the 19th. He is performing that night as well.

Country music artists are known for helping the communities they come from, and Jelly Roll is no different. He is teaming up with area Wal-Mart stores around Nashville to sponsor a toy drive for kids in need this holiday season.

The toy drive is going on through the middle of December. The drive started with a donation of $25,000 worth of toys! Since, Toy maker Hasbro and Coca-Cola have pledged another $25,000! Way to go Jelly Roll!!! You can always count on Country musicians to come through for people that really need it.

It was a HUGE night for Lainey Wilson at the CMA's last night! She won 5/9 awards she was up for! She won Music Video & Musical Event of the Year with Hardy fo "Wait in the Truck", Album of the Year for "Bell Bottom Country", Female Vocalist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year!!! WOW!
