Which ad are you referring to? The ad (link) provided by the OP doesn't even mention anything about how long P stayed at the hospital, it only gives a brief recording of the pilot's request for an emergency landing. Can you refer me to the ad of which you are speaking? (I replayed the OP's link 3 times just to make sure I wasn't missing anything) laytonian said:
. There is an inaccuracy repeated in the ad for the show. They repeat the line about him leaving the hospital after 3 hours, when we know from Judith that he stayed there for about 12 hours. We've even seen the aircraft logs that confirm it.

.

I am referring to the ad that is showing on CNN. It is THE major ad for this broadcast.

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

Oh look, bullshit. CNN is:

.

owned by the Turner Broadcasting System division of Time Warner

.

Aha, you say, Time Warner! Again: bullshit.

.

In the past, other major divisions of Time Warner included Time Inc., AOL, Time Warner Cable, Warner Books and Warner Music Group. All of these operations were either sold to other investors or spun off as independent companies from 2004 to 2014.

.

But hey, don't let that interfere with your conspiracy theories.

That's a concern I have of mine is another television show probing the death of Prince with sleazy talking heads more concerned about milking attention for themselves talking about a dead celebrity than giving insight into the life and career of Prince. I didn't watch the Prince episode that aired on Reelz because it was produced by the slimeballs that run the National Enquierer-responsible for running those stories about Prince having AIDS and all that nonsense. I was surprised Van Jones appeared on it but I chalk it up to him not knowing about the producers of the show. I gotta be honest, I'm sick of Dr. Drew using Prince for his cause to addiction. So many questions still remain unanswered. In the coming years, I can see Prince's death being the basis for so many shows of this genre like they did Jimi Hendrix.

This is a show from HLN, which is owned by CNN. In their commercials, they state it will cover the early years of Prince up to his death. They indicate that a lot of the information is derived from CNN archives and they mention they spoke with the family but they don't state which family members they are referring to.

The link is below to the promotion they aired when I watched their other episode on the OJ Simpson murder trial.

Warner brothers also maintained a small stake in the company with an option to buy more at a later date however in 2011 the private equity group sold it to this guy.

I totally agree with this sentiment. An autopsy show verses the idle chatter we do here makes it way too real again.

After watching an advanced screening of the documentary, it seems that more questions are raised than answered over the course of the special’s 40 minutes. Despite the salacious tone, dramatic background music, and leading questions, the documentary offers little in the way of new information regarding Prince’s passing. Instead, a cast of commentators — including CNN’s Van Jones, Sara Sidner and Alisyn Camerota; former MTV News anchor Kurt Loder; Rolling Stone’s Joe Levy; and an investigative journalist who researches celebrity deaths, Ian Halperin — retread known facts about Prince’s final weeks, including the Piano and a Microphone shows he played in Atlanta on April 14 and the emergency plane landing that grounded him in rural Illinois while making his way back to Minneapolis.

I don't mean for this to come off as morbid by any means...what I wish would air is an "autopsy" show. Hear me out... There is one currently that is backed by a world renowned foernsic pathologist. He has done shows on people like Robin Williams, Marilyn Monroe, etc. He takes the autopsy report, breaks it down and gives his take on what, in his professional opion really went down. He has even debunked some autopsy findings on people such as Natalie Wood. I KNOW we'll probably never see the light of day on the full autopsy report, but if that ever occured something like this would put to rest alot of speculation, being that he delves into even if there were any underlying causes as well that may not have been the final cause of death, but nonetheless were a contributing factor (i.e. Steve McQueen...he was found to not have died of lung cancer by smoking, but rather by asbestos exposure and ultimately died of a possible blood clot after surgery for removing a cancerous tumor). Not trying to take this thread off topic, just saying a world renowned professional forensic pathologist voicing his opinion would possibly sooth some of our need for closure)

I hope Andre and his family aren't devastated over his decision to speak. Nothing is going to hurt Prince now and folks with half a brain will be watching this program with a grain of salt so to speak. It is painful to see he feels the need to apologize when it is his and others who knew Prince participation in this program that will perhaps give it any humanity at all.

No one will ever please all the orgers though, the talkers get dragged, the non talkers get dragged, people get called liars before they've even said anything, Judith tells the truth then gets slammed for not acting as his mother or being a good enough woman to save him from himself. We want answers but only the answers we deem appropriate, the rest should be kept private, so and so can write a book, but others cannot, we want his music to sell but don't talk about the man while you're selling it. No wonder Andre is worried, some crazies out here.

--/That is because they don't know anything. The police have kept such lock on the investigation I don't even know how anyone not a part of the investigation or his inner circle would know what was going on in his final hours.

"It’s unfortunate, then, but not surprising, that the documentary mixes up a few details — like where and when Prince told his fans to “wait a few days before you waste any prayers” (which he said on stage at Paisley Park on April 16) or in what context he tweeted the words “I am #transformed” (he was retweeting a fan’s reac...is concert)."

So a major tv station decides to make a programme about Prince's loss and after all this time ends up making those classic two mistakes. This shows little research, imo. What a waste of time...

Also, tricking people into participating in it is low, really low. It's all about the ratings, but hey... it's not like we did not know that already.
