Dear Colourtelly friend,
Welcome to the second of your regular Colourtelly updates.
The black-British television revolution is on. As you will know if you're a subscriber and you've seen our programmes so far, WE mean BUSINESS. Colourtelly offers you television from a 'black-British' perspective for all the family. It's YOUR channel. And it's up to YOU to make it work. Tell everybody you know to subscribe to help us build Colourtelly into what WE ALL want it to be.
We've got a couple of new programmes to introduce today:
INFO@COLOURTELLY.TV is our daily news bulletin bringing you stories from Britain, Africa, the Caribbean, the United States and throughout the diaspora and, giving you a voice to respond. Say what you think. If you've got a camcorder at home, why not say it to camera and send it to us and we will broadcast it on www.colourtelly.tv. Let the world know what you're thinking.
For details: info@colourtelly.tv.
REAL TALK with DRASTIC AND CRO is the second of our new offerings today. You will know the REAL TALK programme already from the edition with the three young ladies Dorinda, Bilonda and Terri. If you missed it, you still have an opportunity to watch it on later schedules.
So let me us introduce you to DRASTIC and CRO. They are two young men who impressed us so much as guests on a radio programme to debate 'TO SNITCH OR NOT TO SNITCH' that we gave them their own programme with a brief to "make a positive contribution to our youngsters today." They're from 'road' as the 'youngers' say nowadays and they speak the language of 'road' and are from what some people would call the 'rough' side of town, but they have a positive message at the end of their tales from 'road'. We hope you'll appreciate what we're trying to do with REAL TALK - call it EDUTAINMENT (Leo Muhammad coined that phrase back when he was Leo Chester and one of the funniest men in the country, to mean a mixture of education and entertainment something that could make you laugh while giving you food for thought.
WE will be NEW programmes regularly as we build up our schedule so make sure you check www.colourtelly.tv daily.

HERE IS TODAY'S SCHEDULE:
BABY FATHER TEASER
Another chance to see the taste of what you will get when the Baby Father soap opera begins in the Autumn. They're calling it the 'black Eastenders'. It picks up the story from where the hit BBC series left off. In this episode Linvall, Johnny and Beres go out on the town for their first night out together -without the ladies- in ages. They're 'at the club' in the VIP section which Johnny has managed to secure for them and with the champagne flowing they look back on the old days and how they used to rave, while Linvall wonder show he got himself into the mess called 'marriage' that he has found himself in "I used to be happy and single," he declares, "now I'm not happy and I'm not single"... a sign of things to come when the story starts proper.
IS LINVALL RIGHT TO BLAME HIS UNHAPPINESS ON MARRIAGE? WHAT DO YOU THINK? IF YOU'RE MARRIED, ARE YOU HAPPIER NOW, OR WERE YOU HAPPIER WHEN YOU WERE SINGLE? EMAIL US: INFO@COLOURTELLY.TV
COLOURTELLY LAUNCH @ RUBY LO'S

REAL TALK
Real talk with DRASTIC AND CRO is the second of our new offerings today. EDUTAINMENT for the teenagers and adults too. REAL LIFE from the 'road' point of view.
JAZZ DAZE
We hope you will appreciate why we're repeating this fantastic animation of the 'jazz story' of Courtney Pine's life from is SCHOOL DAZE to becoming an incredibly successful jazz musician. It's an uplifting story, which we make no apology for keeping on the channel continuously. If you know youngsters that the story might uplift, let them watch it. Of course it's uplifting for older too. Well done, Courtney, we will never tire of seeing this. There are so many layers to it.
