Facing a barrage of criticism, News Corp. announced Monday that the O.J. Simpson book and TV special "If I Did It" would not be broadcast."I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. "We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."
A dozen FOX affiliates, including Pappas Telecasting-owned KPTM (Cox Channel 10) had already said they would not air the two-part special next week. It would have been seen on two of the final three nights of the November "sweeps" period.

Thats terrible. To get OJ's hopes up like that and then just shoot them down. His big chance to be on after "House" is ruined forever.
Now I'm just waiting for all those people who were screaming "censorship!!!" at KPTM to take their screams to a higher level.
