Our experience with these newsmagazine shows has been, as Robin indicated, that feature stories that are not 'timely' or particularly 'newsworthy' are easily bumped. We had an appearance on 20/20 a couple of years ago that got bumped back week by week for about two months first by the Oklahoma City bombing and then by a Michael Jackson arrest. Makes it hard to schedule! NBC can be reached at www.nbc.com but, again, I have found that the Web sites are not always accurate predictors of what will appear on our screens.

Do you or anyone else have their e-mail address or the best way to reach NBC? Also is there anyway to hear about such programs in advance,so we can contact our local affiliates to do some follow up PR? Best Lorraine Jeffe
