Does anyone know what TIME on Weds. Obama's 30-minute infomercial will be aired?
I want to be sure to not miss it.. I think it's on ABC or NBC (can't remember which).

Any help would be appreciated.

4. It IS NOT ON ABC - only on Fox, CBS, NBC, Univision
ABC had some problems with it for some reason.

5. MSNBC was reporting that ABC was open for it but the campaign didn't want to accept their offer
for some reason. I bet they were asking too much for the airtime or something compared to the other stations.

7. I've heard that it had to do with money
It's pretty interesting really, because what ABC normally has in that time slot is dying a slow death. It's aptly named "Pushing Daisies". ABC not airing it is just inviting people that normally would have stayed on ABC for whatever reason are going to stick with whatever channel is playing the Obama program.

8. Yep, I think it's all about the money. They know the campaign has raised a lot.
So they probably held out with their fee hoping the campaign would give in and pay the higher fee just to be on their station. The campaign probably told them where to go...
