IRAN-CONTRA HEARINGS BACK
KCET Channel 28 will provide live coverage of the Iran- contra hearings when they resume at 7 a.m. today.
Channel 28 will air a pool feed made available to individual PBS stations in the wake of a decision by “The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour” to suspend its own live coverage of the hearings on the network due to lack of funds.
The pool feed will be accompanied by occasional voice-over commentary by Daniel Schorr and Paul Duke, with Channel 28 providing its own openings and closings for the hearings, which are expected to run from 7 to 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Thursday and continue throughout much of the summer.
KCET said that it will continue airing pool coverage until the expected resumption of the “The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour” live coverage in late June.
The hearings are also being aired live on Cable News Network (CNN) and on National Public Radio.
