Who got scared by Killer Coke then?

Looking forward to a half hour away from the computer last night I settled myself into my arm chair in front of the TV with a cold drink (and before you ask, no it wasn't). Imagine my disappointment when the program I had planned to watch, Tonight with Trevor MacDonald, was introduced by the announcer with the words 'in place of tonight's scheduled programme we will be looking at the health risks of drinking wine'. So, does anybody know why, at the last minute, they pulled the scheduled programme which was to have been about Coca Cola and its dodgy activities around the world?

On Monday, February 27, 2006 from 8-8:30 pm, the program, "Tonight with Trevor McDonald" was going to do a half hour program about issues surrounding Coca-Cola. The program was going to cover certain aspects of Coca-Cola, including human rights abuse allegations at its plants in
Colombia.
This item was allegedly 'rescheduled' at the last minute. Could you explain the reasons why the broadcast was changed? Is the item scheduled for another time and if so, when?
Many Thanks,
