'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' won't air on ABC this year

Apple TV+ became the exclusive home to everything Peanuts last year after purchasing the rights last year.

The company responded to the backlash from fans and made a deal with PBS to allow the holiday specials to air on traditional airwaves.

The Halloween classic will air Sunday, Oct. 24 on PBS and PBS Kids at 6:30 p.m. Both the Thanksgiving and Christmas specials will also air later this year on the same network.
