Airdate: The Latest on Michael Jackson

By David Knox on July 3, 2009 / Filed Under Programming 13

Michael-JacksonThis just in.

5pm Saturday.

Channel Nine.

A week since his death has been so controversial so tonight we bring you the latest from those closest to the King of Pop, as well as never before seen home videos of Jackson and his children and much more.

To be hosted by David Attenborough who was originally presenting A Spy in the Den at the same time.

That last bit I made up.

That is all.

UPDATED:  Seems this is actually a 20/20 ABC Special: Michael Jackson: The Life Behind the Music.

    No need for specials anymore on music channels. Half the top 40 is now MJ songs!

  6. Andrew B July 4, 2009 at 12:16 am -

    Yeah, fair enough with music channels, but constant unexpected specials eroding our weekly tv on FTA?

    And putting them on with sometimes only a days’ notice? OK on the day he passed but a week or so on, please!

  10. John July 3, 2009 at 5:11 pm -

    Hmm… ok. Well let’s hope Channel 9 actually has a respectable special this time and not something from the gutter.

  11. Andrew July 3, 2009 at 4:52 pm -

    I think the concert to be screened on Monday Night at 7.30pm on 7 will be the showcase of Michael the best of all the specials screened recently

  12. George July 3, 2009 at 4:32 pm -

    LOL! I love how you’re treating these David.

    If David Attenborough actually hosted an MJ special I would probably collapse from laughter.

  13. Dave July 3, 2009 at 4:30 pm -

    Stop milking it channel nine!!! Makes you look not only desperate, but it is really pathetic!!
    That goes to channel 7 on monday too!!!
