    "46664 - The Concert" on MTV, 6:00pm - 7:30pm ET.

    On Saturday, the 5-hour live global webcast of this concert, held to raise awareness of AIDS issues, was seen by over 2 billion people, including the man it honored, Nelson Mandela. "46664" was Mandela's prison number when he was held on Robben Island. This 90-minute highlights broadcast will feature songs from Bono, Beyonce, The Corrs, the Eurythmics, Queen, Peter Gabriel, Anastacia, Bob Geldof and many other world citizens who realize that millions have been killed by AIDS. The scene was Cape Town, South Africa. Mandela told the crowd that people with AIDS "are serving a prison term for life." This show also airs on VH1 starting at 10pm and is repeated on MTV2 and VH1 throughout the day. Today's Oprah Winfrey show will also be devoted to the world AIDS crisis and this concert.

    The United Nations reported last week that 2003 saw more deaths and infections from HIV and AIDS than ever before, with more than 3 million people killed this year and another 5 million infected. The number of orphans left behind easily outnumbers the population of major world cities.
