Orlando becomes home to another national TV show on Monday. That's the day iVillage Live launches on
10 NBC O&O stations from Universal Orlando Resort.
The show, based on the iVillage.com Web site, will broadcast live at noon Monday-Friday from Islands of Adventure. A new set has been build in an open air theater at the park between Marvel Super Hero Island and Toon Lagoon. (I bet no other show in the history of television has ever been able to say that!)
I was out at Universal Orlando over the weekend, and hotel guests as well as park visitors are being encouraged to be part of the show's audience each day. You can
call to get tickets to be in the audience, and you don't have to pay admission to the park. There will be a stand-by line too, around 11:30 a.m. each day, but only for those folks who are already paying guests in the park. (Would you choose to ride the Hulk Coaster or watch a TV show after paying $73 for a one-day, two-park ticket?)
The show has five hosts --
Sissy, who's the working mom;
Guy, who's the single dad;
Molly, who's an O-Town hometowner;
Bob, who's the "wacky" one; and
Naamua, who's single and from Britain. You can read more about
all of them.
But just because WESH isn't carrying the show now, you can still see it by logging on to
ivillage.com, which will stream the show each day.
