I am sure there will be more. But here is a nice concise line-up:


<!-- m -->http://www.examiner.com/x-8357-DC-TV-Ex ... or-June-25<!-- m -->


Multiple networks are loading up on special Michael Jackson programming to mark the one-year anniversary of his death on June 25.

MTV has several specials planned in his honor, including "Michael Jackson's Top 10 Video Countdown," set to air on June 25 and again the next day, as well as a two-hour block of Jackson videos on June 26.

The music channel will also run the one-hour special "Michael Jackson's Influence on Music," which spotlights artists that have been inspired by the King of Pop's songs, choreography and style, on June 25.

Meanwhile, MTV's sister network VH1 will air the five-hour 1992 telepic "The Jacksons: An American Dream," and E! Entertainment Television's June 25 schedule includes "E! True Hollywood Story: Michael Jackson," "E! Investigates: The Last Days of Michael Jackson" and the special "Michael Jackson," each one-hour long.

TV Guide Network, which recently acquired the documentary "Michael Jackson: Gone Too Soon," from Shine Intl., will air the two-hour film along with the specials "Michael Jackson's Entourage: Where Are They Now" and "Michael Jackson: His Family Dynasty," as well as a special edition of "Hollywood 411."

Music-themed cable network Fuse has two new MJ specials on deck, "Michael Jackson: The Inside Story" and "Michael Jackson: A Tribute," on June 25.

So far, ABC News is the lone network news division set to give up its June 25 primetime for Jackson. News magazine "20/20" will feature a new two-hour report chronicling the ongoing investigation into Jackson's death, as well as how his children are adjusting without their father.

The "20/20" special will also include interviews with Jackson's personal makeup artist, his stylists, and what the network calls a "new tour" of Neverland Ranch.

    Also something I noticed is that even though Pepsi isn't sponsoring either of the premieres (TII or Ghosts), they make sure that their advert is always following the adverts of these premieres.
  • Thank you for posting this. It will be interesting to see the "new" Neverland. Personally, I would have rather heard from Kenny or someone else other than Karen but oh well - can't win them all...

    It seem like their basically airing the same specials they did last year. Whenever they do video countdowns they always play the same MJ videos. Like man he did make other songs besides Thriller, Beat it, Billie Jean. They should play other ones like Stranger in Moscow, Earth Song, Ghosts something different or show some of his live performances.

    Yeah I know. What's up with that? The beginning of BAD is the best part of the video. I love the chemistry in the video between MJ and Wesley Snipes. Wesley Snipes is the ultimate villian trying to make MJ do wrong things. MJ lives in the hood in that video. The part when he act like he gonna rob the guy is funny. He tell that guy to give him a quarter in the subway station. <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: --> His chant at the end be cracking me up too like he's preaching to Wesley Snipes and his friends about the error of their ways. He keep saying You doing wrong over and over.

    you know who brought that part to my attention? my kids! they were doing the backround repeats and dancin around like they were in baptist church--- ahh and he said give me a quarter! A QUARTER!! I was rolling!! did you notice the begining the white guys from his school put something on him what was it yogurt or something? (the kids made me watch the whole thing) I immediately picked up on the feeling that MJ was caught between two worlds in the video...

    the next time you watch the video watch the dancers! they are so hilarious!

    Yes, it's actually quite sad. MJ has more songs than most nowadays pop wannabes all together.
