ABC prime-time Palin special planned
New York ? Charles Gibson’s interviews with Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will form the basis of a special prime-time edition of “20/20” Friday, ABC said Wednesday.
Gibson is traveling to Fairbanks and Wasilla, Alaska, for the first TV interviews with Palin since she was selected as John McCain’s running mate. The first excerpts of the talks will be shown on “World News” Thursday.
Gibson is having three separate interviews with Palin, ABC said. Parts of the interviews will be spread around other ABC news programs, including “Nightline” and “Good Morning America.”
The prime-time special, at 9 p.m. CDT, will also include a bio of Palin by ABC’s Kate Snow and a round-table discussion on the presidential race moderated by George Stephanopoulos.
CNN is also planning a Palin special this weekend.
