NYC Pride Will Be Televised for the First Time Ever This Year

By James St. James on May 24, 2017 12:39 pm

What a no-brainer!

The 48th annual NYC Pride will be broadcast live for the first time on New York’s WABC-TV Channel 7. The march, which takes place on New York’s Fifth Avenue, will also be streamed on WABC-TV’s official website.

NYC Pride Managing Director Chris Frederick called the forthcoming broadcast “an unprecedented opportunity” for the LGBTQ community’s “collective voices to be heard.” Other Pride-related events, including the PrideFest street festival and the Pride Luminaries Brunch, will also receive WABC-TV coverage.

“In a time when there continues to be an effort to roll back the rights of LGBTQ individuals, it’s important that we are visible,” he told HuffPost. “As a kid in rural Ohio, if I had the opportunity to turn on the TV and see a sea of rainbows, I might not have felt so afraid. We look forward to everyone tuning into the broadcast and we thank ABC for giving us the opportunity to show the events that helped spark the Pride movement.”
