http://www.examiner.com/x-8357-DC-T...ounce-Michael-Jackson-programming-for-June-25
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.

**************

PLEASE RECORD (possibly) ALL TRIBUTE TV SPECIALS AND UPLOAD THEM TO THE 2000WATTS section!!!!
 
TV Special Gives Inside Look at the Hidden Life of Michael Jackson's Kids

Michael Jackson wasn't the kind of dad you'd catch flipping burgers on the barbecue.

But cable channel TLC is out to prove that -- despite all the weirdness that enveloped his world -- Jackson was the kind of father they make phone-company commercials about.

Prince, Paris and Blanket, who are now 13, 12 and 8 years old, get their first, unauthorized TV special -- "Hidden Lives of Michael Jackson's Children" -- Father's Day night.

But the network means "Hidden" in a good way, it seems.

"I think people are always going to say that [Jackson was strange]," says executive producer Wendy Douglas. "But I feel that if they . . . see some of the things he did with his kids, I hope they think a little less of that.

"They'll say he was a little weird, but was also a very hands-on father."

The special, airing at 9 p.m., comes on the one-year anniversary of Jackson's death (June 25). It features behind-the-scenes footage seen before only in snippets -- including Michael helping Prince recite his "ABCs" and playing chess with his oldest son.

The show has its tabloid moments, like former child actor Mark Lester saying that Michale asked him to make a "donation" to help conceive Paris.

But the point of the special is that the kids behind the dark veils and (sometimes grotesque) masks were fairly average children.

"Footage of Michael and his kids was always protected. He never liked to release it," says Douglas. "We were shocked we had this intimate footage, and I love it because it shows how much of a great father he is.

"You'll actually see how hands-on he was and how close he was to his children."

While no one interviewed on Sunday's special doubts that Jackson loved his kids, his child-rearing methods (including the veils and masks) are questioned by some -- including Vanity Fair writer Maureen Orth, who covered Jackson's 1993 child molestation case (eventually settled out-of-court).

(Orth's late husband, Tim Russert, hosted "Meet the Press" for NBC, which produced this special under its Peacock Productions banner.)

The true paternity of Jackson's children is also cautiously questioned. Lester admits that he could be Paris's father, but adds that "it doesn't really matter," since Jackson was her father in every other sense of the word.

Missing are interviews with any of the kids themselves.

"As you can imagine, that was something that would have been really challenging and difficult to get," Douglas says.

Don Lemmon tweets
@MissMJJ michael jackson special moved to the 25th. Anniv of his death. 8p. ET. Thanks for asking.

I think I just saw a tv advertisement for this. I know it said June 25th, but it was so quick I missed the time. I looked up at the tv as I heard "Final Days of Michael Jackson" and saw the date and a picture of an IV drip (hated that). Is that the same special Don Lemmon tweeted about do you think?

***GOOD MORNING AMERICA***

FRIDAY, JUNE 25 – A preview of “20/20’s” interview with Karen Faye, Michael Jackson’s personal makeup artist, and his stylists, Michael Bush and Dennis Tompkins, on the one-year anniversary of the pop star’s death


***20/20 2 HR. MJ SPECIAL***
FRI. JUNE 25
9:00 PM
ABC

_____________________________________

FYI.....just saw a preview of this programme and I don't like what was being inferred just by the clips, I saw Karen being asked if there where other 'incidences', Frank Cascio being asked how much he thinks 'they' (I assume its the kids) are each worth and Michael Bush recounting an incident where Michael said to him, 'you promised you'd never tell....'

For some reason I think they are gonna be focusing on this drug ish......but, those were just clips, so I'll wait and see. I just think some of these specials especially from the networks, I'll be viewing with my mute button.

ExoticPrincess, I agree with you. If these are the most damning clips, then 20/20 don't have much. MR BUSH said, he dressed MJ and put him in the coffin. Have zero respect for the reporter CYNTHIA MCFADDEN. She is a bottom feeder, who hammered MJ over the years.

YES! I could'nt remember her name, Cynthia Mcfadden......you can't trust her to discuss anything about Michael, both her and Diane Sawyer are so alike on how they approach all things Michael.
