New Pet Show Airs on LV1

CBS sister station LV1, Channel 19, is adding some zip to its Saturday afternoon lineup with a real value show, 'Pets in Vegas'. A Wallace Media Group production, 'Pets in Vegas' is a half-hour trip around town that reports on the growing pet population and the industry that supports it. 'Pets in Vegas' will provide its viewers with the latest in pet related information from a staff of talented reporters who make the show entertaining as well as educational. Tara Lee, the host, introduces them throughout the show from the location of that weeks feature story. Celebrity pets, special pets, and pets of the week, are other highlights you can expect. The controversy over this city's high kill rate at local shelters is well noted, and yet little has changed. 'Pets in Vegas' will focus on this issue, and it surely is a big step in the right direction. 'Pets in Vegas' premieres on Saturday, Dec.1st @ 1pm on Cox Channel 19 (LV1).
