Synopsis
A WWII soldier is sent back in time in order to kill Harry Truman in order to prevent atomic attack to Japan

Project Notes
At the end of World War II, a Japanese soldier named Hiro is sent on a mission with tremendous consequences. He is to travel back in time and assassinate President Harry Truman's family before he is born, thereby preventing the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. On the eve of Harry Truman's birth in 1884, the Truman family desperately tries to fend off this group of bandits. But Hiro is fighting another war in his heart, for visions of his dead daughter Chou urge him away from perpetuating the violence. Now, trapped in the past, beset on all sides by a civil war and feuding families, this warrior from the future will have to face his destiny on an incredible journey that can change the course of history.

1) EMMY AWARD WINNING MEDICAL TALK SHOW!!!/Reality TV/Nonunion x 6 times per week

2) DO YOU ___ ???/Reality TV/Nonunion x 6 times per week

I have no idea what shows these are but the cds should be forced to put their name on their notices.

Also, any commercial for an established company that pays $100 for the day or $75 for 2 hours... it's ridiculous.
