AMERICAN HEROES CHANNEL TAKES "ONE GIANT LEAP" WITH ITS 2014/2015 UPFRONT SEASON PROGRAMMING LINE-UP

(New York, NY ) The newly renamed American Heroes Channel (AHC) announces its Upfront slate for the 2014-15 season with timeless stories in which a challenge appears - be it a situation or a villain - and a hero arises. Training its sights on compelling and uplifting true stories of men and women who have distinguished themselves by their actions, new series and specials on AHC will honor great defenders of our freedom in epic battles from the Revolutionary War to D-Day; provide a rare glimpse into major events that shaped our world from the Space Race to Watergate; and profile trailblazers and unexpected advocates who made a difference from the Wright brothers to real-life Rosie the Riveters.

"American Heroes Channel is the only home on television that captures intimate, first-person perspectives from the real heroes who were on the frontlines of history," said Kevin Bennett, executive vice president and general manager of American Heroes Channel. "We are thrilled to offer a slate of new series and specials for this Upfront season which truly celebrates every day men and women everywhere that choose to be bigger than themselves, stand up for what's right, and in turn, change the course of history."

Anchoring the AHC slate is the documentary special ONE GIANT LEAP (wt), which chronicles how, amidst unheralded violence and turmoil, a besieged generation looked past tragedy and rose to its feet to welcome a new generation of heroes that made them believe in miracles in a time when heroes were needed badly. ONE GIANT LEAP (wt) reviews the struggles, fears and pressures of the 1960s space race that inspired Americans and remarkably united them in a time of turbulence. Interviews with the surviving astronauts, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin, Jr., as well as families and individuals affected, along with stunning high-definition NASA films and never-before-seen home movie collections, transport viewers back in time to discover a fascinating, untold story of a nation's journey to the moon.

Additional American Heroes Channel's 2014/2015 Upfront programming slate includes:
