There are at least 5 regular Gay themed television programs on various

Los Angeles cable systems.

You can watch Nicholas Snow on West Hollywood access doing a live half
hour as the Tinsletown queer.  Nick's goal is to get homophobia out of
Hollywood and queer actors out of the closet.  He can be seen on West
Hollywood access Tuesdays at 9:00pm.  Century viewers can also see The
Tinsletown Queer Mondays at 11:30pm.

Fresca Vinal, Produced by Doug Lee Long is a fun, frolicking,
television party.  Doug's unbridled enthusiasm is very evident as he
interviews and dishes with loads of high spirited and colorful quests.

Speaking of Dishing, Steven J.  McCarthy serves up a tasty half hour
of cooking and gossip tips weekly on his show DISH.  The program that
proclaims that cooking isn't the only thing going on in his kitchen.

David van Chaney is the handsome host of "Tricks".  A totally gay
dating game for the nineties.  David's show is aired in Tokyo on a
program that brings TV from around the world to Japan and he can be
seen Tuesdays on Century at 10:00pm.

Ed Anderson's Journal is a more sober look at issues concerning Gays
and Lesbians and features the news makers in our community.  He was
the last to interview Rand Shrader, our very own gay judge and one of
the founding fathers of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Community
Services Center.

The Gay and Lesbian News Magazine is a regularly produced television

Rock, including Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Santa Monica.  Since
1989 the Gay & Lesbian News Magazine has been dealing honestly and
frankly with issues of interest to Gays, Lesbians, Bi-Sexuals,
Trans-Gendered people and their friends.  While we produce an hour
long "Talking Heads" program for our long beach audience the programs
for the L.A.  area deal with topics of particular interest to L.A.
residents.
