My life in public relations has it's perks. I recently read a press release from the Travel Channel with this information...

Posted as a new series:

SAMANTHA BROWN'S ASIA launches in December of 2009, with eight episodes uncovering the history and the majesty of this enchanting region. As she has done over the past 10 years on the Travel Channel, Samantha uses her charming personality and ability to make the excitement of travel accessible for everyone, leading viewers on a multi-country excursion across Asia.

Posted as a returning series:

Travel Channel's most recognizable host, Samantha Brown, returns with her popular GREAT WEEKENDS series. Travel research continues to show that more and more Americans are looking for shorter excursions closer to home, and GREAT WEEKENDS follows Samantha as she uncovers popular as well as some undiscovered locations that serve as the perfect locale for the 48-hour getaway.

I'll let you guys know if I discover any more information on these new shows!
