Telethons, like the one that aired on Channel 50 for CMN, are largely relics of the past now. Even MDA doesn't have theirs any longer.

I wonder if WJBK aired that Vendetta movie on Sunday afternoon because it had been pre-empted in prime time by something else?

Thanks for posting this.
 
I am guessing Vendetta was a Made for TV Movie (since the production date is also 1991)
Strangely I can't find anything on it at IMDB.

I believe WJBK had the Tigers contract in '91, and it's June so baseball season had started.
My guess is it's a repeat of a network TV movie that was pre-empted during the week.

The Tigers were still on WDIV at the time...if not for the NBA playoff game, 4 would have likely televise a Tigers game that afternoon. For the record, they played at Cleveland that afternoon; maybe that game was on the old PASS network.
