Marking today's sixth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, CBS Radio's all-news station WINS in New York has teamed with video community Paltalk for "1010 WINS Live Online with Paltalk.com," a live video webcast from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST.

The program, available both through www.1010wins.com and Paltalk.com, will be co-hosted by Susan Richard, a WINS anchor, and Gary Baumgarten, Paltalk's director of news and programming, and host of the community's "News Talk Online."

The webcast will include a live video feed from the memorial near Ground Zero, reports from WINS correspondents, pre-recorded video segments, and in-studio interviews. Viewers will be able to interact both with each other and with the show's hosts and guests via video, voice, and text. Guests scheduled to appear include Dilshad Ali, Muslim editor of Beliefnet.com.

Separately on Monday, Paltalk announced three new series on its interactive video platform, PaltalkScene:

"MusicScene," featuring live performances and interviews with musical artists, Mondays at 8 p.m. The first episode last night featured an acoustic performance by R&B artist JoJo.

"Hollywood Now," an hour-long celebrity talk show hosted by Rocketboom's Joanne Colan, airing Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST. Jimmy Jean-Louis of NBC's "Heroes" will guest on the this week's premiere episode.

"Provocation Hall," promising debates on political and social issues. Thursdays at 8 p.m., starting Sept. 20, hosted by political campaign veterans Avery Krut and Amanda Crumley.

Paltalk, which boasts 4 million users, said viewers can watch its shows passively, and can also interact with the guests, hosts and other viewers in real-time through voice, video and text chat as the show airs.
