Co-founders Amezcua and Remillard have structured the new platform with a lineup of curated original content that will be accessible both on the BEOND.TV site, as well as through local broadcast outlets. Carlos and Lisa currently airs weekday mornings at 8:30 on KDOC Los Angeles. Plans call for national expansion, starting with Palm Springs and Santa Barbara in July.
“BEOND.TV will combine the best of broadcast television with the innovation of a digital platform,” Amezcua said. “Our mission is to provide viewers — both online and via traditional broadcast — with objective news and information, as well as the lively and engaging discussion that we’re known for.”
The new initiative launches with Carlos and Lisa, a half-hour news talk program that incorporates issue-driven discussions with a deeply rooted Southern California flavor, true to the pedigree of its hosts, both Southland natives.
“Our idea was to offer a West Coast perspective, given the fact that virtually every major news outlet addresses issues from an East Coast viewpoint,” Remillard said. “We’ll introduce content from experts based in all areas of the western U.S., presenting a brand of journalism that no one else is offering.”
