Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender programming is ‘coming out’ for free as OUTtv launches a free preview of its new fall schedule this week. From Sept. 28 to October 13, OUTtv’s fall line-up – including five new original series and the much-anticipated Canadian debut of Dante’s Cove – will be available on Bell ExpressVu, Videotron, Cogeco Cable and Source Cable.
The free offering coincides with the celebration of Coming Out Day across North America. To mark the occasion, OUTtv will air a special day of programming featuring coming out stories from different families and cultures, documentaries and movies. The fall schedule also includes the second season of Cover Guy, the popular male model hunt series. Another offering, Let’s Shop, takes viewers to the world’s shopping hot spots. Returning programs include the world’s first Gay and Lesbian marriage show, I Now Pronounce You, and Picture This, which takes couples through their wish list of renovation plans.
‘We are very excited about bringing Dante’s Cove to Canada – a show which is a GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender) favorite in the USA,’ says OUTtv VP programming and marketing Wendy Donnan. It’s also a show our audience has been voting for!’ OUTtv is owned by a consortium of shareholders, including Shavick Entertainment, Peace Point Entertainment Group, Re:Source Media, Score Media and Pink Triangle Press, Canada’s largest and longest running gay and lesbian media group.
