The Associated Press had a story that was picked up by many, many outlets about ABC televising Nik Wallenda’s tightrope walk. I saw this particular one on the NY Daily News web site:
ABC is turning Nik Wallenda’s attempted tightrope walk over Niagara Falls into a prime-time television event next month.
The network said Friday it will devote its entire prime-time schedule to a three-hour special on June 15 with the daredevil’s attempt. Part of the show will be an examination of the greatest stunts of all time.
There is also a longer version of the article available on some sites.
At least one affiliate won’t be showing it until Sunday afternoon.
