"The Sound of Music" coming to ABC Family next month...

My friend, PR guru Frank Groff, is the person who introduced me to the pleasures of "The Sound of Music" several years ago. So I can't help but think that Frank will be very happy about this news: The cable network ABC Family will pay $3 million for the rights to air the 1965 film "The Sound of Music" for three years, sharing it with its sister broadcast network ABC.
ABC Family's first three primetime runs of the film will be during the evenings of April 6-8 at 7 PM each night!
Beginning with those airings, ABC Family can air the show seven times each year for the next three years, any time between January to September. The ABC network can air the film once a year for the next three years, but only from October to December.
Of course, you could always buy the DVD.
