Gay/lesbian channel gets the word OUT for fall

Gay and lesbian diginet OUTtv is expanding it footprint and announcing new shows for fall. Originally available on Rogers, recently Shaw Cable and Star choice have picked up OUTtv, with Bell ExpressVu in the final negotiations of carriage. When the deal is complete (scheduled for month's end), the net will be available to all digital subscribers across Canada, increasing potential viewers from 20,000 to more than half a million.

A sampling of new series includes QueerEdge, airing weeknights beginning Monday, Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. and examining all that defines the word 'queer.'

Next up is I Now Pronounce You... which follows the nuptials and catches up with the happy couple three months later. Airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m., beginning Oct. 4.

Then in Chris and John's Road Trip OUTtv personalities Chris and John show what they did on their summer vacation, hitting the road for six eps of crazy antics in various cities. The show begins Monday Oct. 17 at 9:30 p.m.

Of a decidedly different bent is Get Bent! a crash course in yoga with unlikely people taking up the pastime in unlikely places, from dykes on bikes to firefighters. The show airs Fridays at 8:30 p.m., beginning Nov 4 for 13 eps.
