    LA-based KCAL Channel 9 to air Armenia Fund's Telethon

    November 19, 2011 - 12:30 AMT


    PanARMENIAN.Net - The last 4 hours (4:00pm-8:00pm PST) of Armenia
    Fund's 14th International Thanksgiving Day Telethon will be broadcast
    over Los Angeles-based KCAL Channel 9, a subsidiary of CBS
    Corporation, one of the largest network-owned station groups in the
    United States.

    Raising funds for drinking water and irrigation projects in Artsakh,
    the Telethon will air live from Hollywood on November 24, 2011,
    8:00AM-8:00PM PST coast-to-coast and around the world. Airing for 12
    hours, Telethon 2011 will reach every continent through satellite,
    cable and the internet.

    `Our cause is humanitarian that is close to the heart of every human
    being regardless of ethnicity, race or nationality," said Sarkis
    Kotanjian, Executive Director of Armenia Fund U.S. Western Region.
    `You don't have to be Armenian to realize that there can be no life
    without water and to want to make a difference in the lives of tens of
    thousands by providing something very basic - water.'

    Last year's Telethon raised enough funds to provide 27,000 residents
    in Armenian towns and villages with round-the-clock supply of clean
    drinking water. This year, with the support of its donors, Armenia
    Fund has a real chance to make sure that no resident in Artsakh is
    left without water.

    In Southern California, the Telethon can be viewed on KSCI Channel 18,
    KVMD, Shant and USArmenia networks for full 12 hours.

    In the Glendale/Burbank/Pasadena/La Canada areas in addition to Shant
    (Charter Channel 388) and USArmenia (Charter Channel 386), the
    Telethon broadcast will be also shown on AABC (Charter Channel 384),
    HighVision (Charter Channel 381), ICFN (Charter Channel 382), Horizon
    (Charter Channel 385), RUSTV (Charter Channel 387) and AMGA (Charter
    Channel 380) Armenian TV channels for full 12 hours.

    In Armenia, the Telethon can be viewed for full 12 hours on H1,
    Armenia, Shant and Yerkir Media networks beginning 20:00.

    The live 12 hour high-quality webcast can be viewed anywhere in the
    world at www.ArmeniaFund.org.
