Sinclair stations to air swiftvet special

[A18]

A 30-minute television special featuring Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth, the group challenging Sen. John Kerry's version of his war record and his anti-war activities, is airing in 16 markets in eight battleground states, according to a non-profit Florida group buying the broadcast time.

Campaign Truth, responsible for producing the show, has added Fox network stations in the Ohio cities of Dayton and Columbus, owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the television chain at the center of controversy over the airing of another anti-Kerry documentary, "Stolen Honor."

The broadcasts will begin sometime after Fox's Sunday NFL preview show, Campaign Truth said.

The special, "Unfit to Lead," also is being aired on PAX network affilates in Cleveland and in seven other states, including Florida, where it will be seen in five major markets, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami and West Palm Beach.

In addition, it is scheduled in Denver; Minneapolis-St. Paul; Cleveland; Milwaukee; Des Moines, Iowa; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Scranton, Pa.; and Charleston, W.Va.

PAX stations hardly get any viewers anyway, plus many of these are airing directly opposite NFL games that would be of interest to those markets.

It'll be interesting to see what the ratings are for these....

You are all making a mountain out of a mole hill.  The people for which the issue is important have made up their minds.

This is going out on poorly rated stations; not too many are going to see it.

C'mon, this is not important.
