For the life of me, I cannot find anything about Martin Luther King, Jr. on my Comcast Cable.

You would think there would be an all-day Dr. King Marathon on PBS, on The History Channel or The Biography Channel or on Black Entertainment Television...

Seven hundred channels, and Dr. King is nowhere where I can find him.

Anyone else find something?

1. TCM? MSNBC? Nothing there?

I guess I'll have to check. Don't normally watch TV during the day.

Damn.

3. All over the cable channels. Amy's show was only his speeches today.

I've seen three documentaries already today.

Even CNN interviewed his friends this morning and ran clips.

4. The History Channel

on Comcast showed the two-hour "King," narrated by Tom Brokaw, at 10 this morning. It was shown again at 4, EST, which means it's on right now.

7. History has the Brokaw thing and an episode of Conspiracy! about the assasination.

I know the latter is a repeat, I'm not sure if the former is new programming.

10. They didn't include the holiday on our garbage pick up, I noticed

I guess MLK day will have to wait a little more to be considered a federal holiday
