The people over at TV Squad have compiled a list of broadcast and cable networks' coverage plans including programming from ABC, MTV, VH1, E!, Fuse and the TV Guide Channel.
Several TV networks will mark the one-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death next Friday with a number of specials and tributes.
ABC's '20/20' will chronicle the investigation into the late pop star's passing and examine how Jackson's three children are coping with his loss. The news program will also feature a new tour of Neverland Ranch and an interview with Jackson's personal stylists and makeup artist, reports Variety
MTV will celebrate the King of Pop's artistic legacy with the special 'Michael Jackson's Influence on Music,' which features the artists who have been inspired by Jackson's work. The cable net also plans to air 'Michael Jackson's Top 10 Video Countdown' on Friday and a two-hour block of his videos the following day.
A little further up the dial, VH1 will repeat the 1992 miniseries 'The Jacksons: An American Dream,' and E! will rerun a number of its Jackson-themed programs, including 'E! True Hollywood Story: Michael Jackson' and 'E! Investigates: The Last Days of Michael Jackson.'
Cable Channel Fuse will pay tribute with two new specials, 'Michael Jackson: The Inside Story' and 'Michael Jackson: A Tribute.'
TV Guide will premiere the new documentary 'Michael Jackson: Gone Too Soon,' which it recently acquired from Shine Intl., as well as repeated specials and a Jackson-oriented episode of 'Hollywood 411.'
The networks will kick off their special Jackson programming on June 25.
