“Broadcasting Christmas” is a Hallmark Christmas movie that pits two television news broadcasters against each other in a game of trying to upstage one another while vying for a coveted job.
Veronika Daniels (Jackée Harry) is the host of America’s favorite daytime show “Rise and Shines” and is looking for a new co-host after her current partner leaves the show. Charlie Fisher (Dean Cain), has what seems like an inside lock on the job as he is not only good friends with the show’s producer, Patrice Montgomery (Cynthia Gibb), but also the soon of a television broadcaster who is nothing short of a legend in the business.
While Charlie has the inside position, there is still two other serious candidates for the job. That is, until a fourth dark horse candidate pops up.
Emily Morgan (Melissa Joan Hart), is that candidate. She is also a friend from the past of both Charlie and Patrice. Well, more than a friend of Charlie as the two shared a romance in the past. She still works at the local Connecticut news station where all three started out. She is now a human interest reporter and, at the last minute, videos a plea to have Veronika consider her for the job. When the video goes viral, Emily is added to the list of contenders.
