The Emmy award nominated Tyra Banks Show will soon be heading to the east coast after spending its first two seasons out west. The Los Angeles based program will be taping season three at the Chelsea Television Studios in New York. This move is like a homecoming of sorts for the former supermodel. New York has always been considered as one of the top fashion meccas in the world. It was a frequent stomping ground of the former catwalk star during her modeling days. Banks was quoted as saying, I'm thrilled to be moving to New York... I feel connected and completely at home." Tyra also expressed excitement over the chance to reach out to even more people. She was delighted to have the chance to interact, relate and draw from a completely different crowd and thinks that this change will only make the show more relevant and useful. She also believes that the Big Apple's energy, dynamism and cultural diversity will greatly enhance the program's own dynamics. With her daytime show making the coastal migration, there are speculations that her other program, America's Next Top Model, will be following suit. Both are produced by Banks' own outfit, Bankable Productions and Handprint Entertainment. Banks is both a judge and creator of the reality based model search program. The Tyra Banks Show is up for six Daytime Emmy awards including Outstanding Talk Show and Talk Show Host. Its third season is scheduled to start airing on September 10, 2007 and the show has already been picked up for a fourth season. With the success of both the Tyra Banks Show and America's Next Top Model, Tyra Banks has come a long way from gracing runways and magazine pages. She is no longer just an icon of style, beauty and fashion. She has become an ambassador of goodwill, sympathy, empowerment and personal growth.
