We've mentioned a few times that magazines were on the endangered media list. Last year, several shut down completely (including Business 2.0) while others struggled. Some, however, have relentlessly tried novel approaches, like Cosmopolitan.
The women's magazine is launching a new TV show called Oh So Cosmo. It will be filled with the same dishy goodness as the lady's mags, packed full of juicy tidbits on men, relationships and of course, tons of features on sex. It will be hosted by gorgeous Cosmo girl, Josie Dye who will give you an honest account on sex and dating today and take you on adventures like the CosmoTV Bachelor Search!
The first episode launches, by no coincidence, on Valentine's day, so even if you don't have a date, you can curl up on the couch with your girls and enjoy the same fun topics you enjoy perusing in Cosmopolitan!
