Bravo television will launch a new broadband internet television channel specifically targeted to the gay and lesbian community. They plan to launch the website on June 1st, to mark the beginning of the Pride season.

"OUTzoneTV.com is a culturally provocative site that's fun, kitschy and newsworthy," said Bravo President Lauren Zalaznick. "We've combined our out-of-the-box editorial content with a culturally resonant sensibility for the gay audience."

The site will feature a wide array of exclusive, seriously fun long and short-form video. Subjects will range from eye-opening historical examples of queer images in media to contemporary explorations of LGBT subjects, to content that is not overtly LGBT, but appeals to the audience. Genres will range from vintage films and television to contemporary documentaries and viral short subjects. The site will be updated daily with a wealth of blogs, features, news, photos, community and user-generated content.

OutzoneTV will also receive on-air support from the Bravo network via special network presentations of LGBT targeted programming which begins on June 16th with a special presentation of 'Three of Hearts'. Produced by Bravo and Hibiscus Films' director Susan Kaplan, "Three of Hearts" is a two-hour full-length feature documentary film chronicling the untraditional "trinogamous" relationship of Sam, Steven, and Samantha.

Sam and Steven have been in a relationship for some time, when they decide they would like to invite a woman to join in their relationship. Samantha joins the couple and together they experience the joy of having a child. It is a compelling story of an extraordinary connection between two men and a woman in a polyamorous relationship.

Director Susan Kaplan states: "my original idea was to challenge society's idea of family. I grew up in a neighborhood where many of my friends were in unhappy homes, even those who came from "traditional" family backgrounds. My home was often a safe haven for many of my friends and as a young girl I spent time thinking about why these friends were having such challenging home lives. Because Sam, Samantha and Steven were three, communication was the main ingredient for their seeming harmony. I just thought they offered an opportunity for me to explore the nature of family."

"Broadband has created an opportunity to superserve passionate, loyal audiences. The gay audience has been one of Bravo's most devoted and building upon that by creating a rich editorial, interactive environment around existing and new content seemed a great way to extend that relationship," said Jason Klarman, SVP, Marketing and Brand Strategy.

OutzoneTV.com is a joint venture between Bravo and PlanetOut Inc. PlanetOut is the exclusive promotional and sales partner of OutzoneTV.com and Bravo will host, manage and program OutZoneTV.com.
