Logo Announces Launch of Half-Hour News Program

Gay cable channel Logo announced Monday that it will launch a half-hour news program on November 12 targeted at LGBT audiences that will air weekly on Mondays at 7 p.m. Eastern as well as stream online at 365gay.com.

The new show is being billed as a vehicle that will allow the Logo team to probe beyond the day’s headlines. “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, Logo senior vice president and general manager.

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 Logo’s summer 2005 launch, the news team has produced three-minute interstitials from CBS News that have aired throughout the day on Logo and streamed at 365gay.com. (The Advocate)
