[net.movies.sw] SW television rumor

kenv@dartvax.UUCP (Ken Varnum) (01/30/84)

  I have heard a rumor that Star Wars will be broadcast
on national television (CBS, I think) sometime next month.
Can anyone confirm/deny this rumor??
  Thanks in advance,

I remember a long time ago reading that CBS had bought the rights to
show STAR WARS and it was supposed to be last fall, but they decided
to put it off until the spring.  I had forgotten, but as far as I know
it should be coming up any time.

I heard about a year ago that CBS was going to televise SW in Spring 1984.
(This was announced around the same time that the HBO showings were announced.)

I guess that's what you heard, sorta.
