Tavis Smiley Joins the WNET Family

Weeknights at 12 midnight thirteen.org/tavis Featured this month

Tavis Smiley with WNET.ORG President and CEO Neal Shapiro

Tavis Smiley Weeknights at midnight on THIRTEEN; Weekdays at noon on WLIW World

Since the debut of his national, nightly talk show in 2004, Tavis Smiley has engaged and enlightened audiences with programs featuring guests ranging from Sidney Poitier and Carol Burnett to Bill Moyers and President Barack Obama. And now, in 2011, as he embarks on his 20th anniversary in broadcasting, he will continue his award-winning program through a new co-production partnership with WNET.ORG. THIRTEEN spoke with Smiley to celebrate this exciting new partnership.
