This Week on MNN: Big shows, big week
It’s a big week here at MNN, which calls for big MNN programming to match, as we launch MNN’s HD Community Channel, the first high definition public access channel available to Manhattan residents. Watch as “The Facts” takes on the weighty issue of the goals of torture, while “The Woman’s Connection” considers how to make big money. The tremendously engaging Stacy Creamer sparkles on “Gotta Run with Will,” and oversized athlete Lance Thomas from the Knicks joins “New Realities.” Plus cap off the week with the giant sounds of jazz quartet Native Soul on “GingerNewYork," and watch highlights of interviews with larger than life women and difference-makers on "Something to Offer" as Women's History Month winds down.
