TV & VIDEO - Feb. 16, 1987

ABC News’ “Nightline” will air a special one-hour broadcast tonight that looks at Soviet TV as it exists today. The program, a spokeswoman says, doesn’t mention ABC’s “Amerika,” but does include an interview of Sam Donaldson by Soviet commentator Vladimir Posner. The program, airing at 11:30 p.m. PST on KABC-TV Channel 7, also will show taped reports of Soviet newscasts that cite certain U.S. TV programs as examples of American obsessions with wealth, sex and violence. Also on tap from the world of Soviet TV is an economic profile of McDonald’s.
