Local TV Fundraising Efforts

[nascar_red]

I know that most of the local stations have held some form of fundraising for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

**KTVK partnered with the Salvation Army plus held their own telethon and raised over $2.6 million.

**KPHO has had their phone bank manned during the week. Have not seen a dollar amount for their efforts.

**KNXV had also had a phone bank open and had a telethon one night last week. Likewise, have not seen their numbers.

Did KPNX and KSAZ do anything special? Have you seen the $ amounts raised by 5 and 15?
