D Magazine announced yesterday that it will team up with the local TV station KTXD and rebrand it D-TV.
The new station will continue to broadcast KTXD's current offerings, including the news show The Texas Daily and the lifestyle show Texas Living, which will be renamed D Living. It will also produce a new morning talk show "in the spirit of The View," with Tim Rogers presumably playing the role of dreadlocked Lesbian comic.
But that will only fill up half the day. Here are some suggestions for how to fill the rest of it.
