THE WEEKEND PRIMETIME NEWSLETTER
AMERICA'S NEWSCHANNEL MSNBC
Saturday October 19, 2002- Sunday October 20, 2002
A sniper remains on the loose, threatening people living in the Washington, DC
suburbs. Our weekend programming will bring you the latest on that investigation with
coverage from the command post and the community. We also have some great premieres
of our documentaries this weekend and a program we are especially proud of, "SUMMIT ON
WALL STREET" with Brian Williams, which airs on SUNDAY at 10pm ET. We'll take an
in-depth look at the state of the economy and the stock market with some of the
leading experts in the business world in this two hour, live program that will include
interaction from the studio audience and you, at home. Details below. We hope you'll
tune in.
Sunday night also features the premiere of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: CUBAN
CROCODILES at 6pm ET. And just because our programming department has a great sense
of humor, we'll follow SUMMIT ON WALL STREET with the premiere of MSNBC INVESTIGATES:
WHITE COLLAR BOXING. That airs at 10pm on SUNDAY.
Enjoy your weekend.
