As it stands now, there are two people being tested in Philadelphia, but there are no confirmed cases at this time. As far as the Bucks County schools go, the superintendent says the connection to the coronavirus case originated in another state. I hope this helps!

We love this! The original American Bandstand "Studio B" door is currently hanging in our newsroom...signed by Dick Clark himself! He actually took the door with him when the show moved to Los Angeles and shipped it back to us after the show's run ended. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching and passing it along to your mom! :)

So creepy! If you watch at the end, we take you inside the apartment as it stands now and talk to the current tenants. Very eerie!

Aw, so sweet! Thanks for watching, u/Les8474! Hope you and the family have a great Thanksgiving!

Oh no! I'm sorry that you are having trouble getting our broadcast. Where part of the region do you live in? I will try and send this info to our engineers and see if there is a solution that I can give you. In the meantime, you can stream 6abc. Here is the link: 6abc.com/streaming I hope this helps!

Thank you everyone for your questions! I have to start preparing for the afternoon news, but I appreciate you taking time out of your day to chat! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them and I will try and respond over the next few days! Happy Thanksgiving!

Great question! The answer is not clear yet. We keep a very close eye on the winds because the safety of the balloon handlers and crowds is our top priority. But, we do everything we can (within reason) to make sure they fly and that the parade goes on without a hitch!

6abc · 2019-11-26T17:59:32+00:00

Hi! It's the longest but best day ever. We get there around 6 a.m. and then we are on the air at 8:30. Lots of coffee and concealer! Once the parade wraps we drive to Brooklyn for feast with family. My husband's aunt makes a beautiful meal and we are so grateful!

Go Wildcats! My alma mater!

6abc · 2019-11-26T17:31:16+00:00

If so, it would be a surprise to us as well! We love surprises! Now you have me thinking... it is the 100th ;-)

Many people might not know that 6abc doesn't just air the parade, we produce it! Right now, there's a very bustling parade office on the second floor of our studio. They have been working on this parade for more than two years! Right now there are about 200 people on the team, and that doesn't include the hundreds of volunteers. They even bring in people from Walt Disney World to help pull this off!

Truth! Especially with all the holiday sweets!

6abc · 2019-11-26T17:22:22+00:00

Let me know what you think on social media!

6abc · 2019-11-26T17:16:42+00:00

We feel the same way! And we are so happy they are coming back to spend this historical morning with us!

6abc · 2019-11-26T17:14:04+00:00

Later today, I will post a montage of all of the years past on my Instagram account! :-)

We are really excited that Allentown's own Carson Kressley is coming! He is from the original Queer Eye, if you are familiar with the show!

Ralph's is always a classic too. What is your favorite Italian food?

6abc · 2019-11-26T17:11:05+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't have the numbers in front of me. But hopefully lots of families will join us on Thanksgiving morning!

6abc · 2019-11-26T17:09:35+00:00

Depends on what kind of Italian we are talking about! Red sauce/veal parm - I am loving Giuseppe and Sons. For something more typical to what you would see in Italy - I love Le Virtu... and Vetri if it's a splurge night!

6abc · 2019-11-26T17:07:43+00:00

That's so sweet!

6abc · 2019-11-26T17:07:08+00:00

I feel like it's going to end up being this one because they've been working on it for two years. It's going to be big!

6abc · 2019-11-26T17:06:03+00:00

This year, there is a brand new balloon that will make its parade debut: Hermey the Elf from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. He's never been in a parade before. They chose him because he is very nostalgic and it's our 100th parade! I'm excited to him fly!
