TLC Premieres its First-Ever Broadband Series Makeover Train

Silver Spring, MD (Vocus) May 31, 2007

TLC premieres MAKEOVER TRAIN, its first-original direct to broadband series, which features a trio of stylists who ride the Boston subway in search of commuters willing to add a little glimmer to their get-up. Beginning June 4, TLC will air 10 installments of these special webisodes. Premiere shows will roll out every Monday and Thursday through July 2, as part of TLC's new Fashion Guide also launching in June at TLC.com.

Experts in hair, makeup and accessories face a moving train, a ticking clock, a curious crowd and unbelievable cramped conditions as they transform an unsuspecting commuter in each three-minute webisode. Whether subjects are on a three-stop jaunt or a half-hour journey, stylists have only from the moment they step on the train to the arrival at their final destination to work their magic. The MAKEOVER TRAIN experts -- Tasha Forgash, Lauren Arbeene and Kevin Lennox -- give viewers useful advice for their own lives as they transform some of Boston's biggest crimes on fashion.

"We are thrilled to extend TLC's success as an on-air lifestyle destination to new platforms with the premiere our first original direct to broadband series," said Christian Drobnyk, senior vice president, programming and development, TLC. "This is just the beginning. As consumer viewing behavior evolves, TLC will continue to bring its loyal fans and advertisers new experiences that engage, entertain and inform across all forms of media."

Visitors to TLC.com will find information and advice from some of TLC's leading experts, including the cast of WHAT NOT TO WEAR, 10 YEARS YOUNGER and other popular shows.

WCPE?s Premieres ?My Life in Music?

Wake Forest, NC (PRWEB) December 21, 2011

WCPE Program Director Dick Storck announces the premiere of a new program called ?My Life in Music?, co-hosted by a musician from the North Carolina Symphony. Each musician chooses his own musical recordings for the show, which airs the first Monday of each month, 7-8 pm, ET.

?This program presents a great opportunity to know our North Carolina musicians,? offers Storck. ?It's autobiographical, providing musical selections and interesting facts about each musician's favorite composers and works.?

Thus far, co-hosts for My Life in Music include the following musicians:

Paul Randall, principal trumpeter, January 2, 2012;

Bonnie Thron, principal cello, February 6, 2012;

David Marschall, acting principal viola, March 5, 2012;

Karen Galvin: concert master, 1st violin, April 2, 2012;

Erik Dyke, double bass, May 7, 2012;

Maria Evola, 1st violin, June 4, 2012.

?We're so pleased that WCPE is producing this program and making our fascinating and knowledgeable musicians its centerpiece,? says North Carolina Symphony CEO Sandi Macdonald.

"My Life in Music" is conversational and fun. It reveals the distinct personalities of the talented people you more often see in a formal setting on stage wearing tuxedos and playing their instruments.

?In speaking with the musicians, I have already learned so much in terms of critical listening,? adds Community and Arts Liaison Tara Lynn, who will produce this new show. ?When they share recordings by the champions of their own instrument, the musicians have increased my own enjoyment of the music ten fold.?

?Each musician has approached this project differently so far,? continues Lynn. ?Every one is spectacular! I truly believe WCPE listeners' affinity will grow, as mine has, for each one of these individuals who work as a collective to light up the concert hall.?

WCPE?s live broadcast of Great Classical Music, 24 Hours A Day can be accessed around the globe in several ways; on-line streaming in multiple formats, including IPv6, local cable television systems and traditional radio broadcasting.
