A Peace Vigil was held last night outside WLOS television studios at 11:00 in Biltmore Park here in Asheville, NC. 3 area soldiers' names were read aloud followed by 700 more who lost their lives in Iraq in response to WLOS's decision not to air Niteline.

Rival Fox Carolina Channel aired the Koppel show live last night. The Greenville, S.C.-based station decided Friday afternoon to ask ABC News headquarters if they could run "Nightline." That question had executives there doing cartwheels, said Stan Crumley, vice president and general manager of Fox Carolina. He said his decision to air the program was not motivated by politics and said it was unconscionable that the names of soldiers killed in Iraq might not be read over free broadcast airways.

Think about that a moment. Fox called ABC to see if they could go live with their Koppel piece last night. And did.

ABOUT EBC

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
