“Colorful OC” is a half-hour cultural and lifestyle program currently in development. It is planned as a weekly show with the goal of expanding mainstream media by shining a positive spotlight on cultural segments of Orange County. Broadcast dates to be announced.

Hosted by OC Black Chamber CEO and president, Bobby McDonald along with a series of rotating guest hosts representing the county’s various ethnic and diverse communities, “Colorful OC” will initially air with 16 episodes on KOCE-TV, Orange County’s PBS Station and the #7 PBS station in the country with nearly 5.8 million viewers a month.

The Colorful OC is an opportunity for the mainstream community to get an inside look at Orange County’s diverse ethnic communities. By demystifying stereotypes and preconceived notions about Orange County, and about each other, we can build bridges to understanding and provide points of views from the other side of The OC.

The Colorful OC is presented by the Black Chamber of Orange County, and produced by Explorer Studios. Partial proceeds of the Colorful OC will benefit the Orange County Black Chamber Education Foundation.
