Last night at 8pm as we were about to change the channel, we saw the old classic Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer was coming on so we left it on CBS. Then the screen went to blue and a message came up saying "This program's unavailable for streaming on the internet." After a bit of googling this morning, turns out CBS only has the rights to broadcast Rudolph over the air to cable and satellite, but no rights to stream it over the Internet.

Is that common? I assume it might apply to Frosty and other old holiday shows? Apparently we can watch Rudolph on Freeform at certain preset days/times starting this weekend.
