NEW YORK (AP) — The first on-air promo for Friday's broadcast interview with Bruce Jenner didn't even show his face, an illustration of the line ABC News is walking in trying to drum up interest for the program while saying virtually nothing about it.
The two-hour interview special with the 1976 Olympic decathlon champion and estranged patriarch of television's Kardashian clan is expected to touch on transgenderism and reports that he may be transitioning to a woman.
ABC has released only a couple of non-specific quotes by Jenner and is not expected to reveal much more in advance of Friday's program, preferring to give him the opportunity to address the topic in the full context of the interview.
Diane Sawyer has not spoken to outside media about the interview, which was conducted in February - one day in Los Angeles, another in New York. She's scheduled to promote it on ABC properties Friday: "Good Morning America," ''Live with Kelly and Michael" and "The View." ABC News executives also haven't spoken about it, not even confirming publicly until April 6 that the interview had taken place, until this Friday's airdate was set.
