The publisher of the Advocate and Out magazines–Here Media–has sent a letter threatening legal action to a former employee of its skin magazines for making negative comments about the company on his Facebook page.

The Advocate announced today that it was beginning an “online and on air” daily news program through a deal with NBC News Channel, which will provide network and affiliate content. The deal with NBC means that Here Media’s namesake–premium television channel the here! Network– will start having a daily or weekly news show in 2010 or 2011, Stephen F. Macias, Here Network’s general manager and executive vice president told Mediaite.
