"We are very excited to launch our YouTube paid channel to bring our expansive, original, LGBT programming to a new global viewing platform," said John Mongiardo, Here TV's senior vice president of programming operations.

The YouTube platform will allow the network to reach more than a billion viewers in the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Spain, France, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Russia, and Brazil.

Josh Rosenzweig, senior vice president of original programming and development for Here TV, said, "As we continue to create original shows, series, and movies, this new channel will allow us to have a fresh and extensive global perspective in both the development of new content and attracting an entirely new audience."

Here Television, which is The Advocate's sister network as both are owned by Here Media, is currently in its 10th year of operation and remains the only TV network in the world focused solely on LGBT programming.
