This podcast is a visit with Bryan/College Station Christmas parade spokeswoman Penny Zent and WTAW's Bill Oliver.

There will not be a 93rd Bryan/College Station Christmas parade.

Spokeswoman Penny Zent says there is not a replacement route since the center median was built on Texas Avenue.

Zent said the route had five requirements...streets in both cities had to be wide enough, there had to be a place to set up, a place to disband, a place where spectators could park and watch, and the ability for first responders to get to emergencies.
