When did Apple TV become so big on airing the Peanuts holiday specials? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have never ever figured why of all streaming services Apple TV got the rights to air every single Peanuts holiday specials rather than CBS or Paramount+ and it seems that ever since they got the rights to Peanuts holiday special Apple TV has suddenly become Peanuts king. Is this because any Peanuts special or show makes money for Apple TV's bank or is it because Apple TV has a whole lot in store for the Peanuts cartoons and specials? In my eyes the only specials of Peanuts Apple TV should've never gotten were A Charlie Brown Christmas and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving because those specials were moneymakers for CBS and are classics that deserve to be seen elsewhere besides Apple TV

When you look through the telescope I think ever since Charles Schultz passed away in the 2000's it really hurt Peanuts fans and when Charles died fans were concerned about the future of the Peanuts TV Specials. In my eyes the real truth about why Apple TV got the rights to the Peanuts TV specials is because when you get the general picture they already had plans to develop new Peanuts TV specials based on the success of The Peanuts Movie and once Apple TV did this they knew they could steal CBS's thunder and get the Peanuts holiday specials from them as part of the deal and the deal worked for Apple TV and fit it like a glove
