New L.A. TV Show "Focus In The Mix with Denise Ames": Features Community News, Celebrities and Up-and-Comers

Los Angeles, CA, July 15, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Thanks to producer Edward Kalaydjian and his AMGA Television Studios located in Glendale, California, News Anchor/Host Denise Ames is now armed with a bigger and better facility able to provide national network quality programming via the new weekly series “Focus In The Mix with Denise Ames”. While the program contains both exciting entertainment and community news stories from all over Los Angeles County, the show also features extensive celebrity interviews on every episode. Since its premiere June 29th (with Celebrity Guest Gretchen Bonaduce) on Charter Communication’s Channel 26 (Burbank, The Media District, Toluca Lake, Glendale, La Canada and all surrounding areas) and on Time Warner’s Channel 99 (Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, North Hollywood and surrounding) July 1st, the viewer response has been fantastic. “Your interview with Gretchen Bonaduce was phenomenal - can’t wait to see your other interviews,” said viewer Sharon Tabb, while Stephanie of Van Nuys, another watcher, remarked, “I can not wait for your next episode.” The show is also already receiving international attention as a fan in France remarked, “Wow. Your show looks great.”

Ames’ celebrity guests have also enjoyed their on-camera interviews. According to Miss California-USA 2007 Meagan Tandy, “We’re looking at California’s future major T.V. news anchor.” Bonaduce commented, “I had such a fun time on your show - You certainly have ways of making me spill my guts.” (referring to her recent divorce from Danny Bonaduce) while musician Rudy Sarzo of Ozzy, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake and Dio fame offered, “You always manage to get the silly side out of me. I love that. Don’t change a thing.” Actor/musician Malcolm-Jamal Warner of “The Cosby Show” fame was also among the first guests. From rock stars and actors to CEOs and politicians Ames is truly focusing in the ‘mix’ of the famous folk melting pot.

Upcoming celebrity guests include Burbank Mayor Marsha Ramos, Jani Lane (ex-Warrant), Congressman Adam B. Schiff, and Coffin Case CEO Jonny Coffin along with his #1 Coffin Poster Girl Cassia Coffin. Vinny Appice also accepted an invitation giving up one of his days off from his worldwide tour with Black Sabbath’s Heaven & Hell. Carlos Cavaso of Quiet Riot fame, Sheriff Lee Baca and Wildlife Waystation Founder Martine Colette, among others also have upcoming taping dates.

While most ‘talk shows’ do just that – talk, "Focus in the Mix with Denise Ames" also provides interesting news segments about both entertainment and local community happenings. Many of the stories chosen cover items not seen anywhere else on TV such as local concerts, fundraisers, medical breakthroughs, awards, and other celebrity events. They don’t get on to say, Entertainment Tonight or Larry King Live, making the show non-repetitive from other outlets. The above mentioned shows tend to cover internationally where as Focus In The Mix with Denise Ames covers international celebrities here locally within Los Angeles.

A new edition to the show, which has already become very popular, is the five-minute mini-interview segment. Bands, authors, even doctors have been among those already taking advantage of the high-quality studio interviews which ride on a major celebrity’s episode. This gives up-and-comers a great opportunity for exposure along with television quality footage to use to market themselves via press kits, YouTube, websites, etc. Commercial advertising slots are available as well.

The series chose the current channels to begin with due to their key target audience. Airing amidst Burbank’s Media District, which is where ABC, NBC-Universal, Warner Bros., Disney, and the like are located is extremely beneficial to promote the show as well as promoting all those appearing during the program; guests and advertisers alike.

Ames also fights for animal rights as a member of PETA, HSUS and the ASPCA. Show times are as follows:

Charter Ch. 26 Friday nights 7:30pm and Time Warner Ch 99 Sunday mornings 11:30am.
