KFDF, UPN 10, in Ft. Smith/Fayetteville, Picks up 'Daniel'

KFDF, UPN 10, in Ft. Smith/Fayetteville, AR announced today that it will air NBC's "The Book of Daniel" after the local NBC affiliate dropped the program.

"The Book of Daniel" will air on Friday nights at 9P starting this Friday February 20 and will continue through February 3, 2006. KWBF, WB 42, in Little Rock, also an Equity Broadcasting station, has been airing the program since it launched on February 6 after the local NBC affiliate opted out of the program.

Neal Ardman, Equity Broadcasting Vice President of Television Operations said: "Broadcasters need to stand up to special interest groups and defend freedom of speech and free exchange of ideas and opinions. If we don't it's a complete insult and slap in the face to the men and women fighting in Iraq."

KFDF is over the air channel 10 and in Ft. Smith is on COX Cable channel 22 and in Northwest Arkansas is on COX Cable channel 4.
