Yesterday on CBS in the evening, I watched a brief promo that featured Steve Kroft asking someone--and I don't have a clue to his identity because the promo caught me off guard and I didn't have a chance to take names--a question akin to:

Kroft: "So, you're saying (with regard to Y2k) you don't know what's going to happen?"

and the reply was something akin to:

Geek: "Absolutely."

Today, on the CBS Website, I tried to verify the fact that tomorrow's broadcast would contain a Y2k segment, and there was no indication that it would.

There was on that site, however, a "heads up" on an interview that is apparently scheduled to run tomorrow--which is big news in my neck of the woods--with a child/murder defendant/client of local attorney Jeffrey Feiger.

I'm thinking that the line-up of stories may have been changed at the last minute, since the story of the kid charged with murder is evolving by the day. In an effort to clarify, I called "60 minutes" and got the regular weekend voice mail, versus a human. I can make some further calls, but I'm wondering if anyone here saw that same promo.

Bottom line: Has anything led you to believe "60 Minutes" and Kroft will air another Y2k segment tomorrow?

Thanks!

Lately "60 Minutes" has been post-poned repeatedly by bleeping sports programs (which should be shown on cable instead). We can't predict when it's going to start & end up missing whole chunks of it. This is vile, even if the shows are re-runs. Why does the network tolerate it?

Also, in case anyone's been in a coma lately -- tomorrow is the season opener of "X Files." Let's hope it starts on time.

Nope.

I saw the same promo. But I had the impression that Steve Kroft will be doing a Y2K thing on Dan Rather's newscast next week. I did not know the interviewee either.

I believe it is going to be on CBS evening news monday night, not on 60 minutes. Anyone in Dallas watch KDTV in Denton (PBS)for McQuiston show Sunday at 1 pm and 11 pm. Good discussion on y2k.
