	Until more time was needed to show commercials, each showing had a host to introduce The Movie. Besides Lahr, Minnelli and Schiller in 1956 (see the question [[#When_was_The_Movie_first_shown_on_American_television.3F\|When was The Movie first shown on American television?]]), the hosts have been Red Skelton and his daughter Valentina in 1959, Richard Boone, the star of ''Have Gun Will Travel'', and his son Peter in 1960, Dick Van Dyke and his children in 1961 and 1962, and Danny Kaye from 1964 to 1967 (the 1964 segments were taped and repeated for the following three showings). The 1970 broadcast, the first since Judy Garland's death, was prefaced by a brief tribute to Garland by Gregory Peck. And in 1990 and 1996, Angela Lansbury hosted a behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Movie and its lasting popularity. This and other specials have also been shown in conjunction with the cable showings on TNT and TCM. The showings on TCM have been hosted by the channel's regular host, Robert Osborne, with the exception of 2007, when it was hosted by Tom Kenny, the voice of ~~Spongebob Squarepants~~, as part of a summer series of family movies. Noted Oz and Judy Garland researcher John Fricke co-hosted with Osborne for the June 2012 broadcast, as part of TCM's salute to Garland on her ninetieth birthday. Since Osborne's retirement in 2016 and passing in 2017, TCM's main host has been Ben Mankiewicz. Mankiewicz's grandfather, Herman J. Mankiewicz, was a screenwriter whose best known work is ''Citizen Kane'', but he was also the first writer to tackle ''The Wizard of Oz'' for MGM.

When MeTV showed The Movie in 2026, there were two versions, one hosted by Lisa Whelchel (host of the MeTV secies ''Collector's Call'') and one by the station's regular horror movie host, Svengoolie.

	In the early 1950s, MGM began leasing some of its films to individual television stations, but held back some of its biggest films, including ''Gone with the Wind'' and The Movie. CBS expressed interest in a national showing of ''Gone with the Wind'', but MGM turned them down. So CBS countered with an offer to show The Movie, MGM accepted, and the television rights were sold for $225,000 each for two showings. The Movie was first shown as part of the ''Ford Star Jubilee'' on Saturday, November 3, 1956, and was the first theatrical movie ever shown on national television. The broadcast was introduced by Bert Lahr, Judy Garland's ten-year-old daughter Liza Minnelli, and thirteen-year-old Oz collector Justin Schiller, who had loaned CBS a first edition of the book for Lahr to read to Minnelli on air. (Schiller would go on to found IWOC two months later.) It was watched by an estimated audience of forty-five million. CBS next showed The Movie on December 13, 1959, and from then on it was shown every season on CBS until 1967, when NBC acquired the film for the next eight showings. CBS got it back again in 1976, and showed it on average once a year after that. Before the advent of cable and videotape, The Movie was regularly one of the highest rated shows of the season, and often the highest rated movie, rarely slipping out of the top twenty for the week it was shown. In 1998, The Movie was shown on network television for an unprecedented thirty-ninth time, but this would also be the last for some time. When that contract expired, the rights reverted to Time Warner (see the question [[#Who_owns_The_Movie_now.3F\|Who owns The Movie now?]]), who decided to show it on their own cable channels. The Movie made its first cable showing on Superstation TBS in November of 1999, and has been shown without commercials on Turner Classic Movies (TCM), beginning in 2000. In November 2000 it also debuted on another Warner Bros. network, TNT, and it returned to broadcast television in 2002 with a holiday season showing on the WB network until 2005. (The WB was merged with UPN to become the CW network in 2006.) Since these debuts, The Movie has become an annual holiday event on TBS and TNT, shown on both stations in late November or early December. It made its debut on another Warner Bros. station, Cartoon Network, in April of 2011. ''The Wizard of Oz'' ~~will return~~ to American broadcast television in October 2026 on MeTV.

	(An interesting side note: The Movie was not the first Oz movie shown on television. The 1925 silent version of ''The Wizard of Oz'' was shown over three nights on early television station W2XCD in Passaic, New Jersey, June 8, 9, and 10, 1931 — eight years before The Movie was released to theaters!)
