LXTV is the brand name of a lifestyle and entertainment programming production unit owned by NBC Universal that creates "hyper-local" content. Started in 2006 by former MTV executives Morgan Hertzan and Joseph Varet as a privately owned broadband TV network and Website, LXTV was acquired in January 2008 by NBC Owned Television Stations (formerly NBC Local Media), a division of NBCUniversal. LXTV was formed after the company - originally focused exclusively on web-based content - was approached by NYC TV head Arick Wierson about forming a joint production partnership. NYC TV, which later went on to forge a content partnership with NBC´s local New York station, WNBC/Ch. 4, brought LXTV into the NBC deal, thus giving the former web-only company access to the top local grossing local TV station in the U.S. After repeated attempts to acquire the production arm of NYC TV (due to NYC TV's public-owned status) NBC opted instead to buy LXTV, so it could create similar hyper-local fare for itself. Some of LXTV’s programs include ''1st Look'', ''Open House'', ''Open House NYC'' and ''George to the Rescue'', which presents lifestyle programming to a young affluent audience. LXTV also created and launched ''New York Live'' (formerly LX New York), the live, daily lifestyle show on WNBC, NBC's New York affiliate, broadcast from Studio 51 in Rockefeller Center and live from the streets in and around New York.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/LXTV-Names-Hosts-for-New-Show.html )〕 ==Programming== *''1st Look'' is a weekly national lifestyle show on NBC that features exclusive restaurants, shopping, fashion, nightlife and entertainment.
