Fahrenheit 9/11' Gets Election-Eve Pay-TV Airing
(couldn't find in the search, sorry if it was posted)


Filmmaker Michael Moore and distributors behind "Fahrenheit 9/11" have clinched last-minute deals to bring his anti-Bush documentary to pay-per-view television and the Internet on the eve of the U.S. presidential election.

Moore's scathing critique of President Bush (news - web sites) and his conduct of the war in Iraq (news - web sites) will be offered on Monday night to the 10 million-plus subscribers of the satellite-based Dish Network, owned by EchoStar Communications Corp. The film also will be available for online streaming Monday night to more than 30 million households with broadband Internet access through video-on-demand service CinemaNow.

The Dish and CinemaNow deals add to an agreement reached last week for two Monday night pay-per-view showings of the film by Los Angeles-based TVN Entertainment, which reaches about 1 million homes through various cable systems. "The potential audience out there is quite large for this," said Mark Benoit, a spokesman for Moore told Reuters.

5. "Stolen Honor" on channel 457 opposite F/911
I guess this is Dish Network's effort to be even-handed.

:-(
