    NEW YORK, 04/22/1999, (ANN/Groong) -- On Friday, April 23, 
ABC's
    network news program, "World News Tonight" is scheduled to 
air a
    5-minute segment on the Armenian Genocide, with Peter 
Balakian and
    interviews with survivors.

    This is part of an effort by ABC to make up for the 
exclusion of the
    Armenian Genocide in the Peter Jennings series/book, "The 
Century". A
    segment on "World News Tonight" generally attracts an 
estimated 14
    million viewers nationally.

    As always, the segment is scheduled for Friday, other major 
news
    events permitting. If, for unseen reasons the segment does 
not air on
    Friday, it will rescheduled for Saturday.
