I’m pleased to announce that we’re about to go on the air with the first-ever daily news magazine show about the Catholic faith, called “Currents.” The show will premiere Monday June 1, at 7:30 pm ET. (For those outside New York, you can watch live streaming at the NET website<\/a>.) <\/p>\n

Below is a preview of the main studio and set under construction. The set was designed by the very gifted Tom Schwinn, who has done fine work for CNN and MSNBC, among other places. <\/p>\n
