Conflicting Program Schedules/Iraq Election Coverage Schedule
The weekend is upon us and time for the Iraqi elections and special coverage on CNN. And that brings up this: CNN is promoting on air and on the schedule at CNN.com, Larry King Live on Saturday will be a re-run of the Ed McMahon and Doc Severinsen interview that aired on Monday night while a press release says a special edition of Larry King Live dealing with the Iraqi elections will air at 9 p.m. Saturday night. I guess we'll have to wait and see which one airs.
