--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHAT:       Louis Gossett, Jr. hosts Asthma: Fighting To Breathe, a
            one-hour special that gives viewers a closer look at
            asthma and how it adversely affects Black and Latino
            populations.  Olympic gold medallist Jackie Joyner Kersee
            and Grammy Award-winning artist, Coolio, reveal their
            personal struggles with this chronic disease.

            Kersee is considered by many to be the best female athlete
            ever, but winning gold medals has not been her biggest
            challenge - it has been living with asthma.  Retired after
            the 1996 Olympic games, this exceptional athlete has her
            asthma under control and now spends her time and money
            providing support for other young African-American boys
            and girls.

            Coolio is one of the few musical artists who has spoken
            openly about his bouts with asthma.  He has vivid memories
            of passing out, of not being able to breath and sadly,
            being so broke that his telephone was cut off so he could
            not even call for help.

WHEN:       Saturday, February 22 at 9 PM (ET)
