Jackson concert documentary to eventually air on MTV and sister networks

MTV Networks has acquired the exclusive U.S. television rights to the posthumous documentary "Michael Jackson's This Is It."

The film should prove of high interest to viewers of MTV, whose airing of Jackson's music videos helped boost the singer's career during the 1980s.

Sister networks such as VH1, BET and Palladia also will have rights to air the film.
