March 13, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Naked and Afraid Returns to Discovery with Super-Sized Episodes on Sunday, March 16 at 9pmET. It is no secret that I love, love, love Naked and Afraid! I am tempted to call it the best show on TV. If nothing else, it is the most unique, and bad-ass show on television. Each week, two strangers are thrust, naked into an extreme survival situation. Outfitted with only one survival item each (get it, outfitted, ‘cause they’re otherwise totally naked) they must do whatever it takes to survive for 21 days in an inhospitable environment that will try its best to make […]

March 10, 2014 Lori Acken

In late 2013, The Weather Channel offered Good Morning America’s beloved weatherman Sam Champion an opportunity to take the next step in his 30-year career — and better serve the legions who trust him to keep them safe in a storm, in the process — as a managing editor at the network.
