(from Science Channel's press release, January 2020) The Bermuda Triangle is home to some of the most fascinating unsolved mysteries on Earth. This remote territory in the Atlantic Ocean has been the subject of notoriety and legend as countless ships, planes and human lives have been lost in its waters. Its reputation for odd disappearances and bizarre incidents has spawned decades worth of conspiracy theories as experts search for any understanding. Now, a team of savvy boat captains and experienced divers seeks to unravel some of the biggest secrets surrounding the Bermuda Triangle in an all new Science Channel series, CURSE OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE, premiering Sunday, February 9 at 10 pm ET/PT. With dozens of years of experience at sea between them, the members of the Triangle Research and Investigation Group, or TRIG team, are led by long time captain and former Coast Guardsman Paul "Moe" Mottice. By his side is first mate engineer Mike Still, who has logged thousands of hours in the Triangle, and worked side by side with Captain Moe for years. They are joined by former Navy rescue diver, sheriff's deputy and military contractor Chuck Meier, who takes the lead in the investigations on ground and underwater, and expert rescue diver and former Army Cavalry Scout Dave Cziko, who together explore the depths of the ocean floor for clues and evidence. Throughout CURSE OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE, the team investigates a variety of mysteries and attempts to determine whether these stories of strange mishaps are purely coincidence, or if there's an explanation - scientific or supernatural - hidden beneath the surface. In the series premiere, the TRIG team investigates the case of a squadron of Navy aircraft known as Flight 19 that flew into the Bermuda Triangle on a routine training mission in 1945 and was never seen again. What could have caused the planes to divert from their intended route, and why is there no physical evidence of any of them?

(from Travel Channel's press release, January 2020) Why do so many communities across America have stories of unexplained paranormal experiences that, through word-of-mouth and consistency, turn into lore? In the new Travel Channel series, "Haunting in the Heartland," premiering on Friday, February 21 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, paranormal investigator and documentary filmmaker Steve Shippy visits Midwestern towns that have been traumatized for generations by ripples of fear. Growing up in a rural Michigan "creepy house on the corner," Shippy uses his own personal experiences to make intimate connections with the families who've reached out to him for help. He then puts the puzzle pieces together to identify and decipher the larger mystery of the town's haunting. Through eyewitness accounts, town archives, visits to historic sites and his own paranormal toolkit, Shippy explores emerging theories until a full picture of the town's ghostly protagonist appears, and a peaceful resolution can be formulated. On his journey through a new heartland town in each of the six one-hour episodes, Shippy seeks to directly confront the entity and bring closure to the people of the town. This season will aim to provide true investigative closure to the mystery of paranormal presence found in Malvern, Iowa (pop. 7,621), Atchison, Kansas (pop. 10,636), Hebron, Kentucky (pop. 5,929), Merrill, Michigan (pop. 735), Holly Springs, Mississippi (pop. 7,621) and Greeneville, Tennessee (pop. 15,062).

· [series premiere] · 2/26/20 at 10:00 PM
· [regularly airs] · wednesdays from 10:00 PM-10:30 PM EST
(from truTV's press release, January 2020) It's Personal with Amy Hoggart will premiere Wednesday, February 26 at 10pm on truTV. The new series, featuring under-qualified and over-confident Brit Amy Hoggart, seeks to make Americans feel better by attacking issues that make their lives - and Amy's - harder. It's Personal with Amy Hoggart, executive produced by Samantha Bee, is part of truTV's line-up that's bold and fresh, showcasing audacious content with relatable characters and laugh-out-loud moments. "I'm trying to be a better person!", proclaims Hoggart. "And good people help people! Whatever the outcome, please know that my intentions were kind. I'm so grateful to Sam and truTV for this incredible opportunity to save people and change their lives. One day, I hope someone is kind enough to do the same for me!" "I am so happy everyone outside of our offices now gets to benefit from Amy's extraordinary knowledge that is not based on any medical training," says Samantha Bee. "Amy is extremely smart and talented so I know her show can make an impact on the emotional distress Americans are currently facing. Do they give out PhDs to TV hosts? No? I bet they will after a season of this show." Although Hoggart doesn't have a license, PhD, or any actual qualifications whatsoever, in each episode of It's Personal with Amy Hoggart, a docu-style comedy series, she attempts to untangle people's everyday issues such as shame, revenge, anxiety, grief, and... Miami. Each episode, viewers learn how Amy's personal issues echo those of her clients' in unexpected, ridiculous ways. As a self-proclaimed "empath and really nice person," Amy goes to absurd lengths to get her clients - all real people, not actors - to feel just a little bit better. She's desperate to help, and it definitely shows. Hoggart will host and serve as executive producer of the series while she continues her duties as a correspondent on TBS's own Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, where she is well known for her pieces on Brexit and Scotland, and generally using her accent to make Americans think she's more intelligent than she is. Previously, Amy wrote and starred in the faux-reality series Almost Royal.
