NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Gay-lesbian network Logo is moving into the network news business, planning to televise a half-hour weekly newscast produced by CBS News.

"CBS News on Logo" will premiere next Monday at 7 p.m. EST. The newscast stems from a two-year partnership between the MTV Networks channel and CBS News. A dedicated CBS News crew working out of its West 57th Street broadcast center had been producing three-minute interstitials that aired daily on Logo.

The new show will focus on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues including the 2008 election, HIV/AIDs and entertainment, sports and science news. The newscast will be available on Logo as well as streamed at 365gay.com (http://365gay.com), a Logo-owned Website.

Dare I ask? What does “LOGO” stand for?

It stands for “Lesbian” and “Gay”. The “O” is just the letter used for call-letter purposes. I suppose they could’ve also used “LEGA”, short for “LE”sbian and “GA”y, but someone decided on LOGO nonetheless.

Shocking that MTV is in on it....not. I saw a show the other day on it, some sort of bi-sexual bachelorette or something.

Nah, they would get The Weather Girls to perform, "It's Raining Men."

Now that my children are grown, parental controls only need to block ONE channel! That channel is the dumb-a55 “nogo” channel. We don’t even have to see a flash as it goes by during a channel surf.

Now THAT is power!

One can either watch the Logo channel or go into a stall at the airport, tap your foot a few times, and get late Breaking Gay News!

“HIV/AIDs and entertainment,...”
I think someone needs to study up on how to segment a compound predicate.

A transgender issue like what? Should he/she sit or stand to pee? What is the politically correct office etiquette?

"I think someone needs to study up on how to segment a compound predicate."

Actually, from the gay point of view the grammer is correct.
