This was the last MDA Telethon to air
on KPTV. In 2003, the show moved to KPDX (49) to allow "Good Day
Oregon" to broadcast on Labor Day.
In
addition
to
the
usual
telethon
events,
a
tribute
was
given
to
"Rambin'
Rod"
Anders,
who
had
hosted
the
telethon
on
KPTV
for
31
years,
and
who
had
died
in
May
2002.
