In what will surely be one of the largest ever, if not the largest, in-kind contributions to a presidential campaign if Al Gore decides to run, NBC Universal announced late last week that its networks will devote an incredible 75 hours of time on Saturday, July 7 to showing Gore's “Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis.”

In addition to the entirety of NBC's prime time that night hosted by Ann Curry of NBC News, CNBC will carry seven hours of coverage from 7pm to 2am EDT; Bravo will show the concerts around the world for 18 hours starting at 8am EDT; and both the Sundance channel and the Universal HD channel will showcase the concerts for 22 hours each beginning at 4am EDT.

No - and will probably have to allow “equal time” every time a Law and Order rerun is shown...

...incredible 75 hours of time on Saturday, July 7...

Damn! I thought I was being short-changed. My days only have 24 hours. Thank heavens I read on.

They must have found the bands that didn’t mind that Al Gore and his wife led a scampaign in the 1980s to have the Senate investigate rock musicians for political points.

No surprise.

NBC = General Electric.

Big players in nuclear and other “alternative” energies.

Probably deeply involved in carbon credits too.

Pontificating musicians; a bloviating ex wannabee-president, and a gaggle of rich superdummies having a party.

Must see tv.
