Breast cancer program on KNBC
MEDIA DISTRICT WEST -- To bring attention to early detection of
breast cancer, KNBC-TV Channel 4 launched a year-round program this
month called "Friends 4 Life."
News anchors will urge women to do their monthly self-exam on the
4th of each month. They will also encourage viewers to call their
girlfriends, mothers, sisters and daughters to remind them to do
their exams. The anchors will be joined by the station's medical
editor in covering stories on breast-cancer prevention, education and
medical breakthroughs.
Governor signs production law
SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Gray Davis has signed Assembly Bill 2410,
requiring the state to collect data on runaway production and its
economic impact on the film and television industry.
While Assemblyman Dario Frommer (D-Burbank) praised Davis' action,
he chastised the state Senate for killing two other measures he
sponsored that would have offered tax incentives for keeping
production work in California.
