KCET is devoting the 8 to 11 p.m. block on Tuesday night to a live show raising money for Japan.
All proceeds will go to tsunami and quake relief efforts through the U.S.-Japan Council, says KCET.
KTLA anchor Frank Buckley and Fox 11 anchor Susan Hirasuna will co-host the show with actress/filmmaker Lily Mariye. Japan Consul General Junichi Ihara will be there, along with actors such as George Takei and other local Japanese Americans. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is booked live for 8:30 p.m. Gene Otani, the lead anchorman for NHK World in Japan, will also take part.
The FCC needed to issue a waiver to let it happen on the KCET air; here's why. The benefit will re-air on Saturday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
