"'B Side' explores the other side of common life," said Kelly Bumann, vice president, brand strategy, Starz Entertainment Group LLC (SEG). "This show pushes the edge; it's unconventional, daring and funny. From the revealing profiles with celebrities and features that focus on life issues that people think about -- but don't always dare to talk about -- to the uncensored music videos, and edgy animated shorts, 'B Side' presents a unique mix of urban entertainment."

"We've had a lot of fun producing the features for 'B Side,'" said Che Che Mata, senior vice president, creative services, SEG. "This show is an expose on society. It explores everyday life, politics and social issues. With its eclectic mix of content, you don't know what you're going to get next. 'B Side' showcases the other side -- not the underside -- of life. It's going to surprise you and it might shock you. Our viewers are going to see content they never expected to see. You'll want to make 'B Side' your late night sweet spot."

Adding more flava to the not-so-ordinary show, is the show's smooth-talking host, "B." "B" is an animated character that adds more spice and personality.

"'B' is tough, but has a heart of gold," said Mata. "He has just the right persona to guide viewers through this fast-moving collection of non-stop crazy entertainment."

Although the mix varies from week to week, here's a sample of the programming vignettes featured on "B Side:"

- Exclusive original content including lifestyle segments and interviews
with celebrities, athletes and musicians.

* "Street Corner Philosopher" dishes the real deal. This opinionated
man-on-the-street tells it like it is with his colorful opinions and
perspectives on topical events and timely issues. Most likely
you'll be able to relate to what he says because you thought about
it, but just did not have the courage to say it out loud. The
Street Corner Philosopher puts it in words.

* "3-Minute Spotlight" features unique people answering a string of
provocative questions in just three minutes. Dishing out the real
deal are exotic dancers and former Playboy Playmates Qiana Chase and
Serria Tawan. You will definitely want to hear what they have to
say.

* "The Professionals" showcases interviews with professional athletes
where we ask the unexpected questions about lifestyle and
controversial topics you've always wanted to know. Featured in this
segment are Ashley Lelie of the Denver Broncos, Kendrell Bell of the
Kansas City Chiefs and Akin Ayodele of the Jacksonville Jaguars just
to name a few.

* "Personal Ads" features interviews with everyday people who take out
personal ads. You'll wonder why these individuals, including a
businesswoman and a surgeon, can't find a date. Learn from these
personal advertisers as they share their vibe on the dating scene
and what they look for in a date or relationship.

* "Cavi Whip" is where you get the skinny on how to outfit, pimp-out
and customize a ride. You will hear from those who can afford
vehicles that cost north of $300,000, like Nick Canon.

* Exclusive features. Like we said, there's something new and
different every week. We also promise special features with hot
people like the salacious Nicole Narain.

- Lots of laughs with comedy skits, including short segments with comedian
Doug Williams, host of Starz InBlack's exclusive comedy series,
"The 1st Amendment Stand-up." We've got some stand-up comedy and we
know you will get your laugh on.

- Raw, uncensored and underground music videos. See the latest from
recording artist 50 Cent and other favorites. "B Side" will also
feature "Best of the Unknown," a segment that profiles up-and-coming
artists, including CWK.

- Animated shorts that are juicy and irreverent, including "Pookie Poo,"
"The Contract," and "Devil's Music," to name a few.
