There have been positively some pre-recorded bits throughout Carols In The Area 2024 however thought it could’ve been at the least partially reside. Or at the least, not on as a lot of a delay as earlier years had been.

Both method, this yr’s CITD was very a lot “usual, usual” when it got here to the number of performers and even issues like the brand/on-screen graphics which haven’t considerably modified in years. I feel both this yr or subsequent marks the top of a 3 yr Seven/activeTV deal signed in 2022, so hopefully after that we’d hear in regards to the manufacturing/broadcast rights going out to tender.

Granted, there’s actually solely a lot you are able to do to rejuvenate a Carols telecast however I’d personally prefer to see different manufacturing firms and networks get the chance to do one thing new/totally different. Heaven is aware of Ten wants a half-decent TV occasion at the moment of yr, particularly with Xmas with the Girls’s Weekly (how that present’s rankings have fallen for the reason that 9 days…) not chopping it anymore.
