UpFRONTs

If you don't work in television, you probably haven't heard of an upfront, but, The Upfront is when the channel/broadcast network/cable channel premieres their new lineup. It's usually splashy and fun, all the network 'stars' are there, and, if you work for the CW (I used to) probably Lenny Kravitz or something. He totes performed one year. I digress. Anyway, VH1's upfront is today in NYC. And, since VH1 is fine family programming, thought I'd share some highlights: (It's more than you'll ever need to know, I realize)
