CBS News on Logo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CBS News on Logo is the umbrella title of gay-themed news programming airing on the Logo television network. As the name indicates, the show is produced in partnership with CBS as a result of the former ownership of both networks by Viacom, (though both companies are still owned by National Amusements). It debuted in June 2005, when the channel began broadcasting.
Initially, news items were presented as short segments between scheduled programs. Occasionally the channel would air full half-hour specials on stories of interest to the LGBT community, such as the Gay Games, yearly gay pride events, the October 2006 ruling in the same-sex marriage case in New Jersey, Lewis v. Harris, and the issues facing gay voters in the 2006 mid-term elections.
In late 2007 CBS News on Logo went to a weekly half-hour format. New programs are broadcast each Monday and repeated through the week.
Jason Bellini is the lead anchor for CBS News on Logo. Other correspondents include Itay Hod and Chagmion Antoine. Executive Producer is Court Passant.
Beginning in January 2007, a news update podcast became available for download through the iTunes store.
