ABC are currently negotiating with Granada TV for the rights to repeat Matin Bashir’s Jacko documentary this week. VH1 have acquired the rights to show it in the US this weekend, the network who premiered the programme want to be allowed to give it a repeat airing first.
Following the huge media hype over the Bashir show expect a number of Jackson documentaries – most unofficial – in the next few months. American cable network USA Network is making a two hour programme on Jackson's life, while there are rumours Granada will put together a collection of clips recorded by Bashir but not put in the original show.
