What channel is this on nowadays. I remember seeing usually on one of the local channels but the past few years I have not seen it.

MDA tried to continue the telethon without Lewis, trying different formats and hosts, but it was a miserable failure.

There may be change drops by cash registers at the supermarket check-out, but other than that, MDA died when Lewis was removed as it's national spokesman.

The way he was summarily dismissed was a travesty

So I did some checking and found out they no longer do the telethons.Also the mda charity get very bad marks since Jerry left.Last year they raised 135 million but only spent 18 million on treatment and research.The rest or 117 million went to salarys and fund raising.Jerry was able to get large companys to donate for free,but mda uses paid fund raisers now.Maybe thats why Jerry and MDA went seperate ways.
