E! Online News - "Fahrenheit" Rising On TV: "chael Moore's looking to turn up the heat on the President before Election Day.
The gadfly filmmaker has sealed a deal with cable operator In Demand to air Fahrenheit 9/11 as a three-hour pay-per-view event Nov. 1, the night before Americans go to the polls to choose their next President, Daily Variety reports.

However, because the blockbuster polemic is already out on DVD, the broadcast is having to be packaged a little differently.

Fahrenheit--which has become the top-grossing documentary of all time with $119 million in domestic ticket sales and is also a hot-seller on video with 2 million DVDs and VHS units sold since Tuesday, its first day in stores—will air as part of a program dubbed The Michael Moore Pre-Election Special.

Along with showing the flick, the pay-per-view special will also feature interviews by politically active celebs who will discuss points raised in Fahrenheit as well as urge people to get out the vote."
