Noah's ark tv show 90s

Logo TV seems devoted to sitcom reruns these days, but during its heyday, the cable channel represented one of the only places where LGBTQ+ viewers could see themselves reflected on the small screen.

MTV Networks, now a part of ViacomCBS, launched Logo TV on June 30, 2005.

“The criteria is to feature gay characters in primary or leading roles and not in the gimmicky or usual collection of depressed characters, comic-relief best friends or serial killers,” David Bittler, then vice president of communication for MTV Networks, said at the time.

Over the next decade and a half, Logo TV worked toward that goal through groundbreaking original programming such as Noah’s Arc, Transamerican Love Story, and—of course—RuPaul’s Drag Race.

With any luck, Logo TV will return to its raison d’être and produce original, LGBTQ-inclusive programming again.
