NEW YORK, April 22 /PRNewswire/ — Plum TV, the 24-hour television and
internet network of local channels serving upscale resort communities,
announces a new show focusing on the intersection between business and
culture. Commencing June 2008, “Connections with Jennie Saunders” will
moderate conversations between people who transform society and culture,
most of whom are rarely if ever seen on television. The show has attracted
stellar bookings from industry and arts, including 2008 Pritzker prize
winning architect Jean Nouvel and the former CTO of Microsoft Nathan
Myrhvold, the man Bill Gates described as “the smartest man in the world.”
Each half-hour program will feature these fascinating cross-cultural
conversations with icons from the worlds of art, business, culture and
entertainment. There will also be “insider” content from industry leaders
who will each cover specific luxury lifestyle areas of interest such as
music, private aviation, real estate, and technology, as well as a variety
of topics in the arts, culture, literature, health and wellness and travel.
Hosting and moderating these compelling conversations will be Jennie
Saunders, Founder and CEO of CORE: a membership-based lifestyle company
that provides curated access to individuals, experiences, properties,
services, culture, and entertainment. Saunders is known as an entrepreneur
and businesswoman as well as a lifestyle arbiter with a gifted practical
imagination and relentless discipline. Jennie is uniquely qualified to
bring this program to life due to her strong relationships in the arts and
entertainment communities combined with her distinct ability to reveal
fresh insights from her guests.

with interesting people that you just don’t see in other places. Jennie
builds businesses on the same concept,” said Chris Glowacki, CEO of Plum
TV. “We’re really excited about this collaboration and we know it is going
