Fox Stations Kill OJ Special
By Jim Benson
After worldwide condemnation of Fox’s two-part sweeps special, O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened, North Dakota’s Prime Cities Broadcasting is refusing to air the interview. Historically, affiliates topple like dominoes after the first bows out. That could leave the fate of the Nov. 27 and 29 special, dubbed by one critic as "the most despicable sweeps-month stunt in history," up in the air. Nov. 29 is the last day of sweeps.

Update: FOX Says No J. to O.J. TV and Book both Cancelled

Fox has just announced that they are cancelling this show - I just heard it on CNN. News Corp. is also cancelling the publication of the book. Wow, a media company actually made a decision for good - not for profit! Go figure...
Kudos to FOX! Thank God someone actually stood up to Simpson and said "NO!"
Another network may not pick it up, but that does not mean we won't be seeing more details about the book...
I don't think this is over.
I hope to hell this is over.
Let O.J. crawl back under the rock from whence he came.
Personally, I think Jennifer is right.
Something else will just pop-up about OJ to grab the media attention.
It's not over until it is over.
My question is...will eBay and You Tube.com have the decency to leave this book/video off their sites should someone try to post them???
