KNME-TV, Channel 5 recently premiered a provocative new series featuring some of media’s outspoken voices on “The Line.” Lively, stimulating and unpredictable, “The Line” is a diverse take on the news. “The Line" airs Fridays at 8:30 p.m. and repeats Sundays at 7 a.m.
“This show is a first for New Mexico,” said show host Steve Lawrence. “It offers points of view, analysis and intelligence that viewers simply can not get anywhere else. There are no party lines here. This is a freewheeling, pointed, but civilized discussion of stories changing our lives."
To keep the conversation fresh, commentators on “The Line” feature a guest to explore the national and New Mexico issues making headlines. Lawrence is editor of Crosswinds Weekly. “The Line” is produced by Tish Bravo.
“We have a great deal of talent in New Mexico and no lack of opinions,” said Ted A. Garcia, KNME-TV General Manager & CEO. “KNME believes it is important to have a continuing insightful dialogue about key issues concerning our community.”
“It seemed to me there was a yawning gap in New Mexico public affairs programming,” Lawrence said. “No one was doing informed, smart, and provocative commentary and discussion of the stories that are changing our lives. There were a couple of interview shows, including Kate Nelson's excellent IN FOCUS, but no forum for analysts from across the political spectrum to talk about issues, events, politics and culture.”
To keep the conversation fresh, each week THE LINE's commentators are joined by a new guest, to explore the national and New Mexico issues making headlines today and those of tomorrow. THE LINE is hosted by Steve Lawrence, Editor, Crosswinds Weekly and produced by Tish Bravo.
This week's guest is Jim Scarantino, columnist, The Alibi.
