Today is the first full day of Planet Green broadcasting! The channel went on the air last night at 6pm with the first episode of Hollywood Green with Maria Menounos (or as the website describes her, “the popular Maria Menounos”), and now is officially the only 24hour network devoted to green programming. As we’ve previously mentioned, we can look forward to a lot of great stuff on this network. Like, I don’t know, this:

Planet Green, the new channel we discussed here, is filming the finale concert on of Battleground Earth (the show that with the obvious pairing of Ludacris and Tommy Lee), and wants you to be a part of it. And even better yet, our green friends at ecorazzi wants you to be a part of it for free. Read on from their webiste:
“Discovery Communication’s premiere of Planet Green, the first and only 24-hour eco-friendly lifestyle and entertainment television network, which premieres June 4 and a LIVE CONCERT. The event is part “green” carpet, VIP party and part concert featuring Ludacris, Tommy Lee and other musical performances. The concert is the backdrop of the final taping for the new Planet Green series, BATTLEGROUND EARTH: LUDACRIS vs. TOMMY LEE, which premieres on August 3rd. Proceeds from this event will benefit the fund created to restore areas destroyed by recent wildfires in and around Griffith Park.”

The Discovery Channel, which helped bring you the almost-too-awesome Planet Earth and Blue Planet mega-epics, has announced that June 4 will be the launch date for a new television channel, Planet Green. We can assume that the channel’s name gives a pretty good description of what it’s all about. At takepart we’ve already told you that Adrian Grenier, the dude from Entourage who isn’t the brother of the dude from The Outsiders, is working on a show for the network. We’ve also mentioned that Tom Bergeron, who apparently hosts Dancing With the Stars (but I only know from post-Fugelsang/Fuentes era America’s Funniest Home Videos), will also have his own program.
