  CENTER STAGE: The BBS Value Tour Launches New Internet Show on Blog Talk
  

  
  On Thursday, August 7, 2008, The Black Business Space Value Tour launched it's new internet radio show on NBBTA Radio Live! via Master Griot Radio on Blog Talk Radio.  Massive technical difficulties with Blog Talk made it less than anticipated, but the camaraderie was simply "off-the-chain!"
  
  Big Check Ty of MBL Records was simply phenomenal.  He's doing some awesome things with a great pool of talent in the rap and R&B genres.  A walking mentor that  producing quality and quantity.  We made some great connects and most importantly, made commitments to support our artists, businesses, and one another.
  
  The show is entitled CENTER STAGE to bring you up close and personal with the members, referred to as FAM, of the BBS Value Tour community (online and off).
  
  This weekly format will feature interviews with sponsors, featured artists, and community members interlaced with with music from jazz to gospel to rock to hip hop.  Next week, August 14, 2008 will feature R&B sensation GINA GREEN.
  
  The hosts with the most are Matata Rae (aka Sean Hall) the Talent Commission Chair for the tour and ArLena the ePublicist, BBSVT's Public Relations/Publicity Chair.  The show will also feature guest hosts from the community and our video & film reporters.
  
  The most important aspect of the show is Our Fans.  They will have the opportunity to vote and comment on their favorite music, video, artwork and guest for the week.
  
  The BBS Value Tour is an entertainment and business development product that is for the community, made from the community.  As an extension of the Black Business Space experience, The BBS Value Tour speaks to businesses' and artists' commitment to the community AND the community's (you, me, we) commitment to its businesses, institutions, and artists.
