Set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, the film tells the story of two young men - a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy - who meet in the summer of 1963 and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection, one whose complications, joys and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love. The critically acclaimed "BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN" is being hailed as the biggest "gay" film since "Philadelphia", not just because of the film itself, but because of the involvement of two of Hollywood's hottest heterosexual stars in the leads. This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE talks with director ANG LEE and stars JAKE GYLLENHAAL and HEATH LEDGER about the heart-wrenching film and their much-ballyhooed "bravery" (with preview clips and outro music from the movie's "He Was A Friend of Mine" by WILLIE NELSON). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12:10 [www.PrideOnScreen.com] SEGMENT #3 - "Audiofile 2005 Year In Review" promo. . . . . . . . . . . . . :35 SEGMENT #4 - "Boy Howdy!" singer/songwriter JAY SPEARS serenades Santa with his list of holi-gay tech toys in "JAY'S CHRISTMAS SONG" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3:15 [www.jayspears.com] Closing Credits/continuity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ===================================== * =============================== STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", A COWBOY ROMANCE MAKES MOVIE "QUEERSTORY"...
