ABC, CBS, MSNBC Documentaries on Ted Kennedy
Looks like ABC and CBS will be first up with a prime-time doc on Ted Kennedy, who died last night at age 77. MSNBC already had one on the boards for tomorrow...Expect more from ABC, CNN and NBC too...
Here's the program line on the CBS doc:
"CBS News will look back at the life and legacy of Senator Edward “Teddy” Kennedy with the primetime special TED KENNEDY, THE LAST BROTHER, anchored by Katie Couric tonight (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Featuring exclusive footage culled from CBS News’ vast archives, the program is an intimate look at Kennedy – both the public face and the private man – as told through intimate interviews and candid moments captured over the last 40 years."
And the ABC one: It's set to air at 10 and will be anchored by Charlie Gibson in Hyannis Port, Mass., and Diane Sawyer in NYC.
Meanwhile, MSNBC long ago scheduled a 7 p.m. prime-time special on Teddy that was set to air for tomorrow night, and the network just announced that it will air as sort of a special "sneak preview" tonight at 11; the Chris Matthews doc - quite a good one, in fact - charts the lives of the three Kennedy brothers and touches on Joe Jr. as well. It will also air again tomorrow at 7.
