what year was the sound of music aired in tv in its uncut form?
1973
the film aired in its uncut form (minus the entr'acte) on april 9, 1995, on nbc. julie andrews hosted the four-hour telecast which presented the musical numbers in a letterbox format. as the film's home video availability cut into its television ratings, nbc let their contract lapse in 2001. that year, the film was broadcast one time on the fox network, in its heavily edited 140-minute version. since 2002, the film has aired on abc, generally during christmas week, and has been broadcast on its sister cable network, freeform, periodically around easter and other holidays. most of its more recent runs have been the full version in a four-hour time slot, complete with the entr'acte. abc first broadcast a high definition version on december 28, 2008. on december 22, 2013, the annual broadcast had its highest ratings since 2007; the increase in ratings were credited to nbc's broadcast of "the sound of music live!"—a live television adaptation of the original musical which aired earlier that month.
