Gov. Beshear making national TV appearances

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear will be making the national news circuit this weekend, appearing on ABC's "20/20" and live on CNN's coverage of the National Governors Association meeting in Washington, D.C.

The governor, a Dawson Springs native, can be seen on ABC tonight when "20/20" follows up on last Friday's airing of "Children of the Mountains," an ABC documentary hosted by fellow Kentucky native Diane Sawyer. The program airs at 9 p.m.

CNN's coverage of the NGA meeting and a visit with Beshear can be seen at 7:30 p.m., Saturday.

Also, starting this week, Beshear will present video commentaries posted new each Friday on the Kentucky governor's Web site. This week, the first-term Democrat speaks out on Kentucky's budget issues.
