TBS. TNT. Lifetime. AMC. Cable networks like these are giving viewers a reason to stray from broadcast TV by airing new original programming.
The A&E Networks’ Bio Channel is another one. You might not know the channel, but Variety reports that total viewers increased 25 percent and adults 25-54 increased 46 percent since last year. Now it’s looking to snatch more viewers with additional original shows.
On Aug. 19, William Shatner’s Shatner’s Raw Nerve premieres. Variety reports that Shatner will interview guests like Jon Voight, Jimmy Kimmel, Kelsey Grammer and fellow Star Trek alum Leonard Nimoy. What makes this show different than other talk shows according to E! is that Shatner will interview guests when they are not promoting their projects.
If you can’t get enough of celebrities interviewing other celebrities, The Chris Isaak Hour includes live performances and Chris Isaak interviewing popular musical guests.
Besides the celeb world, Bio Channel also offers glimpses of the police world in Female Forces, which follows 18 policewomen in a Chicago suburb, and Why I Ran, which features interviews with people who have led police on high-speed car chases.
