Members Soapsuds Posted July 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 5, 2009 They are getting preempted PJ. None of the CBS shows will be shown. I agree with you about MJ. But as Errol said he is bringing in big numbers to CNN and other broadcast channels. I agree Zendall Fan. I guess I am more pissed because she is a texas girl. I found it interesting that the stores not only had MJ CDs but Farrah's DVD on Charlie's Angles available. Most stores didnt even carry CA before Farrah's death.

Members P.J. Posted July 5, 2009 Members Share Posted July 5, 2009 Well, I guess it'll be Tvland/FoodNetwork/TCM for me on Tuesday. Anything not to feed the coverage whores associated with marketing this "news". I can't wait for the endless commercials hawking this "once in a lifetime tribute" for $29.95.

Members Soapsuds Posted July 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 5, 2009 LOL...I can see it now too. I heard something about songs he was working on. I bet they will release those soon too with the video of him practicing for his upcoming tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 5, 2009 Members Share Posted July 5, 2009 Eh. Announcing the death is one thing, but the funeral is another. Why, exactly, are there 24-hour news networks? If the regular networks are just gonna air the news at any time they want to anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted July 5, 2009 Members Share Posted July 5, 2009 Does anyone know if the Canadian stations are affected? (Is that the right one? I always mess that up.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 The news whores drive me NUTS. I have a story for you. In Kansas City, Joe Montana spent the last few years of his career with the Chiefs, and when that SOB announced his RETIREMENT, our local CBS affiliate interrupts Y&R with a news bulletin to announce this, at 11:45 AM!!! 15 MINUTES before the 12:00 newscast! If it was any old eppy of Y&R it would be one thing, but the VERY MOMENT they chose to interrupt the broadcast was when Crazy Veronica had Nikki in the stables, and was holding a gun on her. I thought my head would explode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 No, she wasn't. Michael Jackson was one of the top 10 most famous people in the world I'd wager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yeah, I don't think there is any comparison. That said I'm not interested in watching either memorial and if I were I'd do it on CNN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 I don't think she's been ignored. I think people have talked about her life and her work, whereas with Michael Jackson, it's all tabloid all the time. In some way the timing helped shield some of the tabloid focus away from her passing and memorial service (like when Ryan O'Neal's oldest son showed up at the funeral and was barred from entering), which I'm glad for.

Members MTSRocks Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 Errr Farah Fawcett is in no way near the status of Michael Jackson. That's insane. Michael Jackson deserves this. This is pretty huge people, the man is known worldwide. 30,000 people don't gather at Dundas Square (in Toronto, Canada) to celebrate the life of just any star. The man had his troubles, but his music brought so many different people together, and that alone is his greatest accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JackPeyton Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 At least her family is being left alone. NBC did a secial look back at her life. and TVLand ran a special too, i think. Thats debatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ian Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 If it's pre-empted in US, it'll be pre-empted in Canada, so we can stay a day ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 NBC said Sunday it will cover the Micheal Jackson Memorial. Like Michael, Elvis had the same news coverage, except that there was only 3 networks and no internet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie6pxDkF-wg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
