GLO understands that within the Urban LGBT community are unique stories waiting to be told, and our programs will always be presented with creativity, quality and integrity. The future of TV has arrived. It's about you, It's about us, It's about time.

GLO President, Maurice Jamal
Just named by BET as among the Who’s Who In Black LGBT America,
GLO TV President and Chief Creative Officer is Maurice Jamal, a celebrated independent filmmaker who achieved mainstream success and has been profiled in Black Enterprise Magazine, Essence, JET, Variety, OUT Magazine and The Advocate. Mr. Jamal created the landmark films “Ski Trip,” “Friends & Lovers” and “Dirty Laundry” and was listed by OUT Magazine as One of The 100 Most Important Gays in America and by AOL Black Voices as One of the Top 25 Most Influential Black Filmmakers.

What is an URBAN LGBT Network?
The Urban LGBT community, our family, friends and allies reach beyond sexuality, race, gender, body type, education, style, region or creed. GLO TV wants to show the world who we truly are. GLO TV is about showing us in all our vibrant colors. The urban community has always been on the cutting edge of culture in America, and with the gay community, even more so. The same way that hip-hop, house and R&B changed music across the globe, GLO is aiming to change TV. The time has come for us to stand up and be counted. The time has come for our stories to be told. The time has come for us to show just how amazing we can be. The time has come for GLO.

What types of shows will there be?
We’re so excited, because GLO will have it all! From outrageous comedies to powerful dramas, sexy soap operas, reality shows, talk shows, feature films, cutting edge news programs, documentaries and music that breaks boundaries. We'll present artists you can't see anywhere else to your favorite celebrities. Most of our programming is original and we’ll also have some favorites you've grown to love.

Get Excited. I wish them the best in all their endeavors.

That is fantastic! Hope I'll be able to get it on my cable company.

I hope this channel is carried on Direct TV. I hope this is better than the LOGO network/channel which really sucks.

Yep, now the trick will be getting your cable provider to provide it!
