I spoke with the programming director at our local CBS affiliate here in
Philadelphia.  She said she did not have any time available to run
Medela's video news release but suggested that I speak with the
person who does the Eye on Health program on the 11:00 Eyewitness
News.

This person informed me that there is going to be a tie-in after the show
on the news to talk about how rare it is for a baby to die of dehydration
while breastfeeding and to discuss the benefits of breastfeeding. I
couldn't get many more details but this film clip is produced by CBS to
run after Chicago Hope.  I'm assuming it isn't the Medela piece.

I NEVER watch TV but I will this Wed night to see Chicago Hope and the
eyewitness news following the program.  I hope that the damage
produced by airing this show on national television will be minimal.
