VAIL - Plum TV, Channel 16 in the Vail Valley, launched its new
lineup of winter programming Thursday.

Plum's signature morning show will be broadcasted this season
live from the Red Lion in the heart of Vail Village. Embarking on
its second ski season, "The Morning, Noon and Night Show" continues
featuring an array of guests, including politicians, local legends,
business people, extreme athletes, visiting dignitaries, actors,
artists, musicians, chefs, local sports teams, naturalists and
more. The show airs live Thursday through Sunday, with "best of"
episodes airing Monday through Wednesday. The show initially airs
live from 8-10 a.m. and re-airs every day at 1:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Plum's other morning program "Fresh Tracks "was created with
the die-hard powder hound in mind. This show is for early risers
who need to know how much snow has fallen, where the best
conditions can be found, or what road conditions lay ahead.
"Fresh Tracks" airs daily at 7 a.m.

After a day on the slopes, skiers and riders can tune into
"Apres Vail." Shot on location from the valley's bars, restaurants
and party venues, "Apres Vail" combines interviews with revelers
along with seasonal sports footage and music videos. This show
airs daily at 3:30 p.m. and midnight.

The Plum camera crew captures events for "Snapshots," another
returning show, throughout the year, featuring everything from ski
and snowboard events to the Vail Film Festival to Battle Mountain
High School sports to community fundraisers. Rotating episodes of
"Snapshots" air daily at noon, 6:30 p.m. and 11 p.m.

There are also several brand new shows being introduced on Plum
this winter that highlight Vail. "Vail Biographies" features many
of the valley's most influential people in a fireside chat
interview setting, allowing viewers to absorb personal accounts
of their lives and accomplishments. Similarly, "Vail Vignettes"
captures the beginnings of Vail through the eyes of one of its
founders and early residents. "Evolution of Design," is a
chronological, three-part series that tells the story of Vail's
interior design firm Slifer Designs. Air times for these shows
can be found on the ticker.

Many people may recognize host Jonathon Tisch, CEO of Loews
Hotels, on Plum's new show "Open Exchange." This Plum original
program presents a series of one-on-one interviews with America's
CEOs and business executives, including Clive Davis, Ace Greenberg,
Ron Perelman and Ian Schrager.

Plum TV, launched in Nantucket in 2002, now boasts stations in
Martha's Vineyard, East Hampton and Aspen, in addition to Vail.
