Colorado OUtSpoken returns on December 20 in Prime Time at 9 PM!!!
A New Name OUTSpoken, and some new team members.
After 19 years and a few format changes, Colorado OutSpoken is evolving again. Changing our name to "OUTSpoken" reflects a new, broader focus for the program. LGBT communities are more interconnected than ever. What happens in Massachusetts, impacts the community in Iowa, and California has an affect in Colorado. Issues like marriage equality, employment, safety, and health-care ripple from all corners of the country, and this broader scope allows us to acknowledge that in our coverage.
Our guests and contributors will continue to highlight Colorado voices, and now we can easily include those perspectives outside of Colorado in ways the viewers can't get anywhere else.
OUTSpoken begins this next step as a series of prime time specials, which allows us time to respond to the interests, ideas, and needs of the audience. This time slot demonstrates the ongoing commitment KBDI has for LGBT community voices, and is a rare step for a mainstream media outlet.
Our team retains members who have been involved from the beginning, while adding strong new voices. Nita Mosby Henry, Founder and Director of The Kaleidoscope Project, will provide regular commentary. Drew Wilson, of milehighgayguy.com, promises to bring features and interviews, and Matt Kailey, managing editor of Out Front Colorado will be part of regular panel discussions.
i hope the viewers see OUTSpoken as their broadcast, and help us create the program they want. Tune in, write in, and jump in with us.
