In Reply to: Re: Lastest word from C-SPAN to re-air Y2K Program posted by Dr. Mike on June 04, I got this off one of Gary North's discussion forums.

Dr. Mike and all,

I just called C-SPAN (202-628-2205) and as of 5pm on Friday (6/5), the Y2K Computer Problems Program is scheduled to air on C-SPAN 1 at about 4pm (Eastern Time) on Sunday, June 7th. Can't wait to see it. Spread the word! Good Luck!

This is getting confusing. The c-span schedule says the Y2k broadcast will be on at noon Sunday. Check www.cspan.org

Senator Bennett and various computer specialists and economists talked about the potential problems associated with the year 2000 and the difficulties computers may have with the change. Many experts have indicated that computers will perceive the year 2000 as 1900, which could wreak havoc with the economy in the United States and the world. The panelists talked about the various scenarios that could come about and how most of the damage might be prevented. Following their presentations, panelists answered questions from the audience.

Check the date on this. This is what I found at the www.C-SPAN.org site. I could find NO listing for Y2K related programming on Sunday. 6/07/1998.

Perhaps the "Event Date" was the original date as 6/2/98 is a Tuesday.
