Lifestyle connoisseurs LX.TV have just announced the new hosts for a daily lifestyle program launching this September.

Sarah Gore, Siafa Lewis and Michael Flocker will helm "LX New York," a daily, one-hour, live lifestyle and entertainment show, which premieres on WNBC September 14th at 5 p.m.

"Our host team is ready to deliver some of the wittiest, funniest and smartest takes on all New York happenings, while taking viewers closer to some of the most interesting people and places in New York," said Morgan Hertzan, Senior Vice President, NBC Local Media and General Manager of LX.TV

Gore has long been the anchor of LX.TV's weekly luxury lifestyle programs "First Look New York," and "Open House NYC" on WNBC. She also contributes to NBC News' "Today" show and appears on taxi screens across the city. Before joining LX.TV, Gore worked as a caterer, a cooking instructor, a food columnist and a line chef for Jean Georges Vongerichten.

Lewis is a correspondent for LX.TV who also appears on "First Look" and "Open House." He got his first big break in 2004 when he won a contest held by WCAU-NBC10 in Philadelphia called "Best Summer Gig Ever." He later joined Sports Net New York where he co-hosted the show "Mets Weekly."

Michael Flocker is an accomplished author whose first book "The Metrosexual Guide to Style" landed on The New York Times Best Seller List. His next three books, "The Hedonism Handbook," "The Fame Game," and "Death by PowerPoint" were published internationally and earned him the title the "oracle of panache" from USA Today. He has also been a web editor for AOL CityGuide and Plum TV and is currently Lifestyle Managing Editor for NBC's "LOCALS ONLY" websites, including NBCNewYork.com.

“We are thrilled to have Sara, Siafa and Michael host LX New York and are confident that their chemistry and energetic personalities will be a winning formula on WNBC for this pioneering one of a kind show,” said Vickie Burns, Vice President of Content and Audience Development for NBC Local Media New York.
