CBS News on Logo to provide in-depth coverage
of LGBT issues during election 08 NEW YORK, NY; November 5, 2007 Logo, a division of Viacom Inc.s (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B) MTV Networks, announced today it will launch the first-ever half-hour news program for the LGBT audience produced by a major network news operation. Logo is the nations leading television and broadband channel and online site for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) audience. Launching on the heels of Logos The Visible Vote: A Presidential Forum and in time for election '08, CBS News on Logo will air weekly on Mondays at 7:00PM ET/PT as well as stream at 365gay.com, a leading online LGBT news hub from Logo. The show will be hosted by Jason Bellini, who will be joined by reporters Itay Hod, Chagmion Antoine and others from across the country and will be executive produced by Court Passant. Since Logos summer 2005 launch, the news team has produced three-minute interstitials from CBS News that aired throughout the day on Logo and streamed at 365gay.com. The new show will allow the CBS News on Logo team to probe beyond the days headlines and provide an opportunity for the in-depth exploration of issues of importance to LGBT America, tapping into the rich history and resources of CBS News. In addition to covering election '08, the show will focus on issues such as the recent controversy about transgender inclusion in the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the state of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, lesbian health as well as entertainment, sports, science and financial news. LGBT Americans will be a key voting bloc in the 2008 election and we hope CBS News on Logo will be a dynamic new platform for keeping our community informed and involved, said Lisa Sherman, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Logo. Were thrilled CBS News is giving a unique LGBT perspective to the very best in television journalism. A LOGO press release |
