Abstract

"This Just In" piece reporting that WMTW, Portland's ABC affiliate, won't be airing Mainer Jake Sasseville's national talk show. "The Edge with Jake Sasseville" is a behind-the-scenes look at how a young man produces, films, edits and distributes his talk show. The show started when Sasseville was a teenager doing a public-access talk show in Lewiston. In 2004, it moved to Portland's Fox affiliate, Channel 23. Starting February 14, the show will air on 35 ABC stations around the country. WMTW says it was simply a "programming decision" not to air the show. A petition drive is underway to persuade WMTW to carry "The Edge."
