In addition, the network will debut several new shows, including Playboy News, which takes a behind the scenes look at Playboy Enterprises, as well as The Playboy Radio Minute, which offers uncensored video from the studios of Playboy’s 24-hour Sirius Satellite Radio channel.
In November, the network will premiere a new scripted comedy series, Canoga Park, which chronicles the misadventures of a hapless adult film mogul and his crew as he dreams of producing the ultimate adult film blockbuster.
“The response to the new format has been tremendous,” said Todd Schwartz, Playboy TV’s Vice President, Programming in a statement. “The new broader programming mix has struck a chord with our viewers and we believe we’ll increase the overall time spent viewing Playboy TV.”
