[On TV] ABC News looks at child survival in Africa tonight

Tune into “World News with Charles Gibson” on ABC tonight to get an unfiltered glimpse of being done to reduce child mortality in some of Africa’s most impoverished countries.

Bill Weir is reporting from Zambia--where health indicators are at critical levels, with under-five mortality estimated at 182 deaths per 1,000 live births.

Zambia is one of 25 sub-Saharan countries where UNICEF has rolled out its Accelerated Child Survival and Development (ACSD) initiative. ACSD is an integrated program that works with national governments to deliver low-cost, high-impact interventions that dramatically improve child survival over a short period of time.

An excerpt of Weir’s report will air on the “World News” webcast at 3 p.m. (EST) today at http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/.

Sheila:

It would be really helpful if you could post notices about TV shows a day or so ahead of time. I check in here early in the morning and by the time I saw the notices about ABC news and Larry King, it was too late to watch. Maybe you don't know ahead of time, but still....if you do, can you give us some lead time?
