TV One to launch new talk show series starring Michael Baisden in October

(July 23, 2007) According to a story in Multichannel News, TV One is planning to air a late night talk show featuring radio personality, Michael Baisden this fall.

The cable channel is partnering with FarCor Studios and Baisden Film Works to create a new primetime talk-show series. Baisden will query celebrity guests from the fields of entertainment, politics, sports and music. Among the show’s regulars will be comedian and singer/producer Morris Day.

In 2001, Michael put aside his writing career to pursue his life-long dream of hosting his own nationally syndicated talk show. That opportunity came when Tribune Entertainment chose him to host a show called, Talk or Walk.

Baisden’s current four-hour radio program,
“Love, Lust & Lies,” is syndicated by ABC Radio Network. The author of three bestselling books, his latest novel is "Gods Gift to Women,” a suspenseful tale about a fatal attraction.
