CBS has announced that plans to broadcast a special programme on Michael Jackson, entitled Michael Jackson Number Ones, have been put on hold.
The show was set to air next Wednesday, November 26. In a statement, CBS said:
"Given the gravity of the charges against Mr. Jackson, we believe it would be inappropriate at this time to broadcast an entertainment special.
"However, we are very mindful that Mr. Jackson is innocent until proven guilty. We will consider broadcasting the special after the due process of the legal system runs its course.
"A replacement programme for the special will be announced at a later time."
