NET, owned by Trans Video Communications, plans a line-up which includes a music video show, children’s programming, a culinary show, and programming about religious faith and believers in New York City.
Christopher Quinn, General Manager of NET, explained the goals of the effort, which replaces The Prayer Channel.
“At NET we’re all about positive and uplifting programming that will offer more than just news and entertainment,” Quinn said in a press release. “Our programming extends beyond what you’d expect to find on ‘the big networks.’ We offer non-traditional programming that strives to enrich people’s daily lives and we do it by serving it up with a positive perspective. We have also developed programming that will cater to the youth audience with music videos and an upcoming film festival, because we believe that just because it’s optimistic doesn’t mean it has to be dull.”
The show “iCTHuS.eQ,” hosted by Mari White, will present an “eclectic bend” of worldwide music. A culinary show “Breaking Bread,” hosted by Tati Amare, will highlight restaurants and eateries of New York City neighborhoods while also noting area culture and meeting local parish priests.
Other local programming at NET includes “City of Churches” on the history, architecture, and artwork of New York City churches. Another show, “Tapestries of Faith,” will examine the city’s myriad ethnic groups and their unique traditions.
The show “Mysteries of the Church” will examine the origin of certain Church traditions and their incorporation into today’s worship, while “The Real Deal with Doctor Mango” will give family and relationship advice.
