Notes Shared with The NTL Board Members:

Supposedly, Never Too Late will be quickly profiled, along with two other stories, tonight (5-19-06) sometime between 6:50 PM to 7:00 PM EST, on the Assignment America segment of the CBS news program (WISH-TV/Channel 8 locally).

CBS News viewers will be invited to go online to vote which of the three profiled stories will become a 5-minute segment the following Friday evening.

Just like the last time NTL was scheduled to be in the mix of the three contestants, we could get "bumped" to a later date...think we got sidelined by a story on 5-year old mutton riders that time...so we'll soon see tonight if we made "the cut"...or not. 

NTL is getting this snippet because the niece of a future wish recipient (who will ride around the Indy 500 Track on 5-22-06) contacted the folks at CBS News. 

The dialogue between the show segment producer and NTL began on 4-25-06 and he liked what he heard enough to want to escalate the timeframe of putting NTL on the air. Dick Wolfsie (WISH-TV - CBS Affiliate) got involved and asked his producer to send three segments (via satellite) to CBS in NYC. There will be the skydiving McDaniels, the 92-year old Alice Campbell who did the 2-seater Indy ride last year and the NTL overview interview that aired on Channel 8 (CBS affiliate) on January 12, 2006.

If the three profiles are voted on equally and there is no "stand out" amongst them for the viewer voters, then all three spots get a "second chance" and will be aired in another three-spot contest at a later date.

If you are near a TV tonight, tune in at the tail end of the CBS Evening News to partake of NTL's ten seconds of fame!!
