NATO Bombing Dominates Network News Programs

War Coverage Will Dominate Network News Shows:The continuing bombing of the former Yugoslavia will no doubt dominate the headlines for the foreseeable future. Expect the major networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC) to break into their regularly scheduled programming with updates. Depending on events, prime time specials may also pre-empt some programming. For news junkies, CNN, C-SPAN and MSNBC will provide virtual around the clock coverage.

The regular Sunday talk shows will also most certainly devote their entire program this weekend to wartime coverage. NBC airs MEET THE PRESS AT 7:00 a.m. PST; ABC airs THIS WEEK at 8:00 a.m., PST; CBS airs FACE THE NATION at 9:30 a.m. PST.
