One the things countries such as the UK are severely lacking, is a TV channel for gay people (well, there are gay chat/dating channels and porn, but they don’t really count). The US has been greedy and has got two, the loosely LGBT-centred (but getting less gay) Logo and the more homo-dedicated Here TV.
However now Youtube has announced they’re launching new paid channels, which people can access for a small monthly fee. One of those channels comes from Here TV, and the great news is that it won’t just be available to the US, as content will also be accessible in Canada, Great Britain, Spain, France, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Russia, and Brazil.
To subscribe users must sign into a YouTube account on a computer and have a Google Wallet account. Here TV’s channel will then be available for viewing on computers, phones, tablets and TV.
Here TV has promised that titles available on the channel include fan favourites Dante’s Cove and The Lair; the Emmy Award-nominated documentary 30 Years From Here; She’s Living for This, starring drag sensation Sherry Vine; political talk show For & Against, hosted by Jim Morrison; dating and sex advice show Threesome; the marriage equality special Pride & Groom; the network special The Dinah Girls; and many more.
“We are very excited to launch our YouTube paid channel to bring our expansive, original, LGBT programming to a new global viewing platform. With a reach of more than one billion potential customers, Here TV continues to explore and embrace the latest innovations in program distribution to best serve our diverse audience,” says John Mongiardo, Here TV’s Senior Vice President of Programming Operations.
