    Hello everyone,

    I just wanted to let you know, in case you didn't hear about it yet, that the SilentLambs (Jehovah's Witness Child Abuse Victims) are going to be Interviewed tonight on "CBS Evening News" (6:30 Eastern Time; 5:30 Central Time).

    I believe child abuse survivors Heidi and Amber, and also Bill Bowen are going to appear on the Program, but I am not 100% sure.

    I saw the TV Commercial for the Interview, and the Commercial said it was coming on Tuesday, April 29th, 2003 on CBS Evening News!

    "Beyond the Catholic Church -- Another Church Under Fire for Child Sexual Abuse Scandal"

    Set your VCRs!

    Below is a copy of the E-Mail Bill Bowen sent about this CBS News Story:
    ___________________________________

    The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather is set to air the story of Jehovah's Witnesses and their child abuse policy on Tuesday-04/29/03. The piece should be around three minutes long (forever for nightly news) and will present the issue clearly.

    As with all major network news a major story could cause it to be pushed back, so hold your breath and hope for a calm day news wise Tuesday.

    As of 8 pm this evening it is set to air and the network is promoting the story this evening with their major programs. They are simply saying, "Watch the news Tuesday for another religion with child abuse problems." or words to that effect.

    This is big and will create further media exposure. While Wt takes every cheap shot they can and tries to pretend there is on problem, the truth continues to ring true.

    So then, this is confirmed for 04/29/03 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time? Any idea who's doing the piece? Dan Rather?

    I have heard that the reporter for this segment is Jane Clayson. 
    (She formerly was on the CBS Early Show, a morning news program.)

    Thanks Bill and the Survivors for your efforts in this matter.

    Well done. Very well done to get this kind of media exposure - again!

    For the week of April 14-20, 2003 the Nielson ratings show The CBS Evening news with "Captain Dan the Newsman" Rather in last place compared to the other two networks (ABC and NBC). But this newscast does get quite the viewer ship.

    CBS Evening News got an average of 7.1 million viewers last week (a 5.2 rating point and an 11 percent share).

    A ratings point represents 1,067,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 106.7 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.

    p.s. - as a rule, the CBS Evening News is on at 6:30pm in your time zone but check your local station to confirm the time.

    Rather generally does not do the actual piece. He just intros it, handing it off to whichever reporter is then doing it. As goph said, it will likely be Jane Clayson.
