NBC pays $50,000 in rights for Blaiberg transplant
NBC sought exclusive rights to Dr. Philip Blaiberg heart transplant coverage with payments totaling $50,000 split among post operation films and interviews. Lawyers said the Blaibergs will donate the money to Groote Schuur Hospital and related heart research or donor estate, not for personal use. The hospital reported Blaiberg is conscious and stable, with intensive monitoring and forthcoming anti rejection treatment. NBC also sought restraining order against a photographer who allegedly filmed the operation, prompting a court hearing set for January 17.
