Burly Bear: devoted to
college students
In October, the Burly Bear Network will begin its search for
people to host a variety of shows.
The television network, created in 1993, is devoted entirely to
the college experience. Some programs include "Half Baked," a show
that displays culinary techniques from kitchens that are largely
unfit for cooking and "Break This," which takes viewers backstage
to meet bands.
