PLAYBOY ENTERTAINMENT CONTINUES TO EXCITE
URBAN AUDIENCES WITH DIVERSE PROGRAMMING

Adult entertainment has always been a part of urban culture. Yet the merging of hip hop and the adult entertainment community has recently garnered the genre increased visibility and more mainstream acceptability. To that end, Playboy Entertainment has embraced urban audiences with a diverse range of programming that has included celebrities such as Snoop Dogg, Outkast, Trina, Jadakiss and Lil’ Jon and the Eastside Boyz to name just a few.

“Playboy Entertainment continues to recognize a commitment to its urban viewership with programming that incorporates elements of hip hop as well as urban culture at large. Original hip hop programming such at “Buckwild,” “”100 Proof” “5 Deadly Videos,” and “Queen of Clubs” remain in rotation, while shows such as “Night Calls 411,” “Lex in the City,” “The Extreme Truth” and “7 Lives Xposed” continue with fresh new shows that continue to expand the borders of reality television.” cites Michael Sprouse, Senior VP Marketing, Playboy Entertainment Group.

While “Buckwild,” “100 Proof,” “5 Deadly Videos,” and “Queen of Clubs” take hip hop head on with music, videos and celebrity appearances, bombshell Crystal Knight provides a hypnotic urban edge as the host of “Night Calls 411,” a show that engages viewers in live interactive conversation. “Night Calls 411” airs the second Friday of each month at 9:00 p.m./ET with frequent rebroadcast thereafter.

“Lex in the City,” helmed by adult superstar Lexington Steele, and his co-host, the engaging Vanessa Blue, is a talk show format that provides an urban take on the adult video and music scene.

“The Extreme Truth” brings to light what lies beneath the conscious mind. Notable “hip-notist” and Las Vegas headliner Justin Tranz delves into the sexual and emotional lives of real couples in this provocative exploration of the subconscious. “Extreme Truth” airs on Saturdays at 10:00 p.m. ET/11:00 p.m. PT.

“7 Lives Xposed” recently began season four. The series monitors the sexploits of seven roommates as they compete for a $100,000 prize. Trivia buffs might take note that rising star and actor, Texas Battle (“Coach Carter”) first appeared in season one of this series. “7 Lives Exposed” airs Saturdays at 9:00 p.m. ET/10:00 p.m. PT.
