Interview with Mekhi Phifer form Frequency!


Drew got the opportunity to sit down with Mekhi Phifer, one of the stars of the new CW show "Frequency". Check out the interview below! 


You can catch "Frquency" Wednesdays after "Arrow" on The Arkansas CW.  You can find The Arkansas CW on Cox Cable HD channel 2004 or 4 and on AT&T U-Verse on HD channel 1030 or 30.

Frequency: When Raimy Sullivan was eight years old, NYPD Officer Frank Sullivan left her and her mother behind when he went deep undercover, got corrupted, and got himself killed. Now, twenty years later, Raimy is stunned when a voice suddenly crackles through her father’s old, long-broken ham radio – it’s Frank, somehow transmitting over the airwaves and through the decades from 1996. Separated by twenty years, father and daughter have reunited on a frequency only they can hear, but can they rewrite the story of their lives without risking everyone they love?

Interview with Tori Anderson from No Tomorrow!


Drew got the opportunity to sit down with Tori Anderson, one of the stars of the new CW show "No Tomorrow".  Check out the interview below!


You can catch "No Tomorrow" Tuesdays after The Flash on The Arkansas CW.  You can find The Arkansas CW on Cox Cable HD channel 2004 or 4 and on AT&T U-Verse on HD Channel 1030 or 30.

"No Tomorrow" is about Evie Callahan, a risk-averse quality-control assessor, who appreciates order. Then she meets charming, free-spirited Xavier Holliday, and the attraction is immediate and electric. Xavier encourages Evie to carpe that diem, because he believes humankind has a mere eight months and twelve days until a runaway asteroid smacks us all into stardust. Evie must decide whether Xavier is certifiable and whether that even matters, if being with him means living her life more fully.
