TV Week is reporting that TV One is planning to launch a weekly prime-time talk and variety series starring Black radio personality Michael Baisden in early October.
Production on "Baisden After Dark" later this month at the Occidental Studios in Los Angeles.
Musician Morris "Jungle Love" Day has been tapped as bandleader and sidekick for the program.
The 44 year-old Baisden, born in Chicago, is an author, motivational speaker, former TV talk show host, and host of his own nationally-syndicated radio show.
Baisden's first book, Never Satisfied: How and Why Men Cheat, is what catapulted the brother into the hearts and minds of Black folks, especially women.
In 2001, he made a series of promotional appearances on daytime talk shows. He was also host of his own short-lived syndicated talk show entitled "Talk or Walk" in 2001.
Currently, Baisden is host of the nationally-syndicated radio program "Love, Lust, and Lies." Among the cities that broadcast his radio show are Atlanta, Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Dallas, Memphis, and Miami.
