HARDtv is dedicated to providing Gay adult content, while OUTtv showcases lifestyle, entertainment and general interest programming. HARDtv is Canada’s only gay adult service with exclusive Canadian content such as Naked News Daily Male, Boyscondo clips, and now Boyscondo TV Live, which is filmed in Toronto. From the same network that continues to attract large audiences with Naked News Daily Male, a Canadian show with an international audience, HARDtv will be the world’s first television network to launch a live adult male voyeur TV show, with viewers simultaneously interacting via internet with the same male models live on TV. This has been done on the Internet for years but never before combining television and the Internet. Boyscondo TV Live is exclusive to HARDtv in Canada and is the only live, interactive Internet TV show in North America. Boyscondo TV Live launches on HARDtv on March 1, 2007 and will air Thursdays, Mondays, and Wednesdays at 9pm EST/PST. Viewers will be able to interact live via the Internet with models in a studio on screen, while watching live on TV as the models interact with the viewers. Service prices for HARDtv range from $9.99 to $11.95, depending on the provider, which is half the price of the competition. “I’ve been in this industry for ten years with six years spent specifically with Boyscondo,” says Brian Gillis, executive producer. “We currently serve thousands of customers with live interactive voyeur shows who click on daily through our website. It will be exciting to launch Boyscondo TV Live on a TV channel as that has never been done before.” HARDtv launched in April 2005 as Canada’s first gay television network to broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the privacy and convenience of digital cable. HARDtv offers commercial-free gay adult titles from some of the world's most well known studios including movies from Eastern Europe and Latin America.
