PLUS: THE DAYTIME SCHEDULE
TVN has ordered a whopping five new series that are set to launch in TVN Daytime beginning this fall. TVN is also bringing back a former game show that will air all new episodes.
The first is a new current affairs law program hosted by Ashleigh Banfield. Tentatively titled The Ashleigh Banfield Show, the series will focus on a court case and give up to date information on the trial.
The second is a cooking series hosted by Giada De Laurentiis. Tentatively titled Giada, the new cooking series will dedicate half of the show to a cooking segments, with the other half dedicated to interviewing guests. Guests will also be involved with a portion of the cooking segments.
The third is a general news program hosted by Christi Paul and Susan Hendricks. The four hour news program, entitled TVN News Now, will feature the top news of the day, as well as any breaking news that may occur during the show. The series will air in two hour blocks, twice a day.
The fourth new series is an evening news program hosted by Natasha Curry. TVN Nightly News will compete against similar news programs and focus on the big stories of the day.
The fifth and final new series is Politics 101, hosted by Jonathan Karl. The series will have sit down interviews with the biggest names in politics and discuss the day in politics.
Outburst!, which previously aired in primetime, will join the daytime schedule and will air for a full hour. A host has yet to be announced, but the series will be ready for the fall season.
TVN has a very female heavy lineup for its daytime launch, but the President says that they are "catering to the network demo."
Here is the daytime schedule:
7am - TVN Morning News
9am - TVN News Now
11am - Giada
12pm - Outburst
1pm - TVN News Now
3pm - Dollars and $ense with Bianna Golodryga
4pm - The Ashleigh Banfield Show
5pm - Politics 101 with Jonathan Karl
6pm - TVN Nightly News (with Natasha Curry)
7pm - Hollywood Insider
Late night is expected to launch in Fall 2012.
The President of TVN says, "We realize launching a total of nine new daytime series is crazy, but we're up for a challenge. We know that the ratings won't be there at first, and we will have to work at getting the viewers to our network. These shows will have time to grow, with most given a full year to show potential. The competition is very tough in some hours, especially in the morning and evening with the news casts. I strongly believe that we chose the strongest news personalities to host our programs."
