With Channel 5 showing it, it's probably now been on all of the main channels at one point,

I remember on a Christmas Day in the 90's it was on BBC ONE, it was a fun thing to receive on my analogue pocket TV. I remember BBC TWO showing it on a Saturday afternoon, Channel 4 have had it on over Christmas, and ITV have had it also.

May have also been on Film4, was on TNT/TCM, and even Sky Movies showed it once for a special event "movies of the Millennium". Not sure if it's ever been on ITV2/ITV3 probably not.

It certainly hasn't been on CNBC or Bloomberg, unless they're talking about the business implications of it or the Oz stock exchange

I'm sure a darts walk on included some of the characters once as the dart player was a Australian hence the 'Oz' if that counts!!

It's a bit sporty with Dorothy vs The Wicked Witch at the end, Sky Sports 1 Live,

I did a thread on it in 2013, can't remember if it's ever been shown by ITV but it probably has. The article on Wikipedia is interesting, the US tv premiere was 1956, however it was only shown in the UK on Christmas Day 1975 by BBC ONE and then shown again in Christmas 1977, then in later years it started to get shown by someone pretty much every Christmas on one of the days and of course TNT/TCM being Turner/WB related show the movie on that channel.

I can't remember ever seeing it on ITV to be honest.
