--The fund raising show for Hurricane Katrina victims has been announced for all six networks on 9/9, the same date as the planned debut of Friday Smackdown. It will be a one hour commercial free concert at 8 p.m. At this point we're awaiting word on what this will mean for the debut of Smackdown. It is possible it could air in a one hour format that night. 9-11 p.m. would be difficult because so many UPN affiliates run 10 p.m. newscasts.
