We thought this was worth sending out ASAP due to the imment airing of
MSCL reruns.....This is not an April Fool's joke!
 
OLS can officially confirm that ABC has sold MSCL's cable rights to MTV and
will run all 19 episodes (re-runs, *NOT* new episodes) weeknights from 7-8
pm Pacific, 10-11 pm Eastern, beginning April 10 and running through May 7.
 
Cast members will host video blocks, VJs will hype the show and MTV will host
conferences with the cast.
 
OPERATION LIFE SUPPORTS's co-founder, Steve Joyner, and MSCL star, Claire
Danes, will be interviewed in Los Angeles by MTV on Monday, April 3. The
piece will air on MTV's "The Week In Rock" on April 8 and 9.
 
***PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ULTIMATE FATE OF MSCL's FUTURE HAS YET TO BE
DETERMINED. THAT ANNOUNCEMENT--RENEWAL OR CANCELLATION--WILL BE MADE BY ABC
ON MAY 16.
