We Interrupt This Broadcast Because Peter Jackson's Contract Says We Had To

NBC/Universal--keepers of the King Kong flame and some pretty shitty Nielsens of late--is unleashing its 800-lb. gorilla on prime-time TV June 28 as part of a "roadblock" campaign, which will flood all nine of its subsidiary networks simultaneously with a trailer for Peter Jackson's NYC-shattering remake:

The specific schedule for the airing of the teaser trailer on each of the NBC networks is as follows:

NBC -- immediately following "Fear Factor"
USA Network -- immediately following "Law & Order: SVU"
SCI FI Channel -- immediately following "Stargate-SG1"
Bravo -- immediately following "West Wing"
Universal HD -- immediately following "Airport '77"
MSNBC -- immediately following "Countdown with Keith Olbermann"
CNBC -- immediately following "Cover to Cover"
Telemundo -- immediately following "La Mujer en el Espejo"
Mun2 -- teaser trailer will premiere during the two-hour block of "The Roof."

Oh, so that's why nobody watches Keith Olbermann--he's been going head-to-head with blockbusters like Airport '77 all this time! And La Mujer en el Espejo! In fucking high-def! No worries at "Countdown," though--King Kong is gonna fix everything.
