Saving Private Cruise
Something piqued my curiosity this evening--ABC is set to air "Saving Private Ryan" tomorrow night, in honor of Veterans Day. But our local affiliate, WTAE-TV, is airing "Far and Away" instead. Any thoughts? Could it be the graphic content? ABC is supposed to broadcast the movie uncut.

CBS Radio was reporting late Wednesday/early Thursday that some ABC affiliates won't air "Saving Private Ryan" due to the graphic opening scene (although according to most veterans an accurate portrayal of the actual landing on the beaches of Normandy) out of fear of fines from the FCC.

Replacing it with "Far and Away?" I'd rather watch Sally Wiggin pick her nose for three hours.
