OMNI launches new series with spirit

Rogers OMNI TV in B.C. has launched the province's first spiritual daily prime-time current affairs TV show. The Standard aired its first show last night to viewers in Vancouver, Victoria and the Fraser Valley. The hour-long program, delivered from a Vancouver perspective, will air stories from around the world, sharing people's spiritual sides. News items will also have a decidedly religious bent. The Standard airs daily on OMNI TV BC at 9 p.m. local time. According to producer Jonathan D. Roth, the show targets males 35-54. The show will be supported by an outdoor campaign beginning Oct. 3.
