Tim Voit and Sewee Entertainment announced that the Emmy-winning Andrew Young Presents will return for a third season in 2010.  The series has been renewed for 2010 in over 85 percent of fhe United States, including 35 of the top 40 markets.

Top market deals for the first-quarter 2010 window include Fox-owned stations in New York (WNYW-WWOR), Philadelphia (WTXF) and Washington (WTTG-WDCA), along with KCBS Los Angeles; WSB Atlanta; WFTV Orlando, Fla.; WSOC Charlotte, N.C.; WEWS Cleveland; and a number of deals with Sinclair including Pittsburgh; Mobile, Ala.; Richmond, Va.; and Greensboro, N.C.

The series also airs internationally in over 175 countries around the globe via deal with American Forces Net.

Current sponsors include Coke, Delta, AT&T and Aarons.

Andrew Young Presents is a quarterly series filmed on location around the world. All episodes are produced in HD and, according to Sewee, deliver "a compassionate series of one-hour television events exploring current national and global issues."  Young is joined on his journeys by contemporary "A-list guests from sports, music and entertainment."

The first-quarter 2010 production, "Crossing St. Augustine," is timed to serve broadcaster needs around the MLK Holiday and February's Black History Month.  In it, Young revisits the scene of one of the least-remembered, yet most violent and important chapters of the Civil Rights Movement, the 1964 campaign of nonviolent protest in the nation's oldest city, St. Augustine, Fla.  For President Lyndon Johnson, images from St. Augustine on the evening news proved to be the last straw, prompting him to sign the Civil Rights Bill into law.
