The Preston Lopez Show has been on the air since August of 1997. It first started to broadcast in New York City on Public Access television station Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN) The program was first called "Anythin' Goes Videos" and hosted by J. Elle (aka Preston Lopez) "In the beginning it mostly was about the latest Hip Hop and R&B videos and interviewing the
The beginning of season 8 came with a bang & a splash. The Preston Lopez Show took a turn for a sticky situation. it also came with a new tag line "finally a show you can masturbate to." The all new concept was a totally all nude sexy content with masturbation skits sexual humor, uncensored male and female strippers and semi porn scenes summer parades and everyone expressing themselves and a side of political activism. "the concept was simple I always started with some skimpy tight shorts then it will go to the latest clubs in New York City featuring male and female stripper. I'll do a recipe for The Sexy Drinks segments. "I remember going to the station and everybody was in awe like I was some sort of big shot because my show was on the top or close to the most watched shows on public access. I was elated and ashamed and embarrassed at the same time. one of the station managers said listen put anything you want on the air your show is a hit as long as their is no penetration you're good. I took that and ran naked with that. It was a good 10 year ride but yet again I felt like some of the message wasn't getting through like safe sex responsibility and respect for one another. on a side note I also had to let it go because of the barrage of unwanted attention I was getting. I could literally not go anywhere in NYC with someone shouting obscenity trying to grab my privates praising me and of course criticizing me.

I know we did a lot to give a voice to the unspoken give a platform to the poets lend a bullhorn to the racially profiled and showcase the people of the basement who were (and still are) prosecuted for their sexuality. -PL
