Cole Sprouse Signed Up For 'Riverdale' For One Big Reason Cole Sprouse‘s new feature in L’Uomo Vogue is one that we love to look at and read even more.
The Riverdale star opens up about his love of photography and how it helps him through life, and also about why he returned to acting in his new CW show.
“There’s narratives within the show that are going to really resonate with a younger audience but also with families,” he explains.
“I’m a believer that we should support various forms of representation because they clearly resonate with unheard groups of people, and for such a huge project like Riverdale this kind of representation is fundamentally important.”
Cole adds about the tone of the first season: “The way this first seasons is shaping up is that this is not going to be a narrative that’s touched upon, which I don’t really mind you know: I think there’s really potential and room for that narrative in the future.”
“I would love, love, love that representation to be more at the forefront.”

Cole Sprouse on Riverdale, Donald Trump, and Jughead’s AsexualityBy Abraham Riesman It’s oddly perfect that Cole Sprouse is one of the leads on Riverdale. The prime-time CW drama is based on the gleefully shallow teens of Archie Comics, which indirectly begat the bouncy antics seen on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, the Disney Channel vehicle that made Sprouse and his twin brother Dylan into child stars. Much as the Archie mythos has grown up into something shadowy and unsettling in Riverdale, the 24-year-old Sprouse is trying to grow up into an actor worth taking seriously.
He plays Jughead in Riverdale — not as a hamburger-eating goofball, but rather as a cynical outsider and ominous narrator. Sprouse is one of the standout performers in the series, eternally dour yet endearingly vulnerable. He also happens to be smart as a whip. Vulture caught up with Sprouse inside the full-scale diner set constructed for the show in a Vancouver suburb, where he discussed the show’s similarities to Rian Johnson’s 2005 indie hit Brick, what Riverdale means in the age of Trump, and why he’s such a fan of the comics’ recent decision to make Jughead asexual.
I have to say, this is a very convincing diner.
It was, brick for brick, wall for wall, taken from a diner that we shot in for the pilot. This is a functioning diner. If we wanted to turn it around off-season and make a little cash, we could! We actually had an 18-wheeler pull in, thinking this was a legit diner.
Come on.
Yeah, recently! That’s how you know you’ve built a convincing set.
Better than an Emmy.
Yeah, really.
How did you get a handle on Riverdale’s weird tonal mashup of Archie Comics and sinister small-town drama?
By the time the audition process had ended, I was already pretty firm on what the show was going for. I talked to Roberto [Aguirre-Sacasa, the showrunner] about it in the very first audition. I was in a weird place and I had come off a binge of The Twilight Zone, so I had just come off this Rod Serling narration every episode. I walked in and, at first, you’re like, Okay, so how much of this “Goll-ee, Arch!” stuff is this gonna be? When I asked Roberto if I could read it like Rod Serling, he was like, “Uh, yeah, of course!” I got a good idea of where we stood then. But when we shot the pilot, I really knew where we stood, in terms of the film noir elements and the darker tone. That’s when I knew this was a show I was really excited to do. Because I had just come off a Disney background.
The stuff you were doing is, actually, closer in tone to the classic Archie style.
Precisely right. And that’s an interesting parallel: The classic, sitcom, goofy-hijinks stuff that my brother and I were doing in The Suite Life is what I wanted to stay away from, frankly, when I was reading for this part. And Roberto wants to, as well. What we’ve got now is something that’s not that. It manages to still be relevant and manages to still harken back to this beloved kind of Archie. I think those were really my only two worries: that it was gonna be a Scooby-Doo movie, or it was gonna do too much damage to the characters. Once those two were crossed off the list, I knew, Okay, this sounds like a fun project.
Did your experience on on The Suite Life inform how you approached this Archie story?
Oh, of course. Especially when it comes to acting or professionalism or artistry or anything like that. In terms of how much of that I take to this in terms of tone? Very, very little. In terms of working for my whole life and the professionalism demanded on a stage and so on and so forth? All of that stays with me. All the technical stuff stays, but the tone stuff is really not here.
Who is Jughead? I didn’t read these comics growing up, but in doing so now, I’m struck by how unique of a fictional character he is.
He’s a bit creepy in the comics. I’m sure some people would take offense to that, but he’s this sardonic, sarcastic, oftentimes cynical character who, if it wasn’t obviously stated that he was a real member of the town, you would probably think was fashioned by Archie in his imagination. He’s almost an imaginary friend, not like a real character. But in this, we still very much try to deal with Jughead as this cynical, sardonic, objective character. He’s very much on the outside. And, much like real comedians or real jokesters or real cynics, Jughead has a troubled past. But we still keep the fundamental basis of Jughead strong. He’s a very nonsensical character and he has a unique philosophical take.
How can you make him nonsensical while also being a cynical outsider?
Y’know, it’s funny: You oftentimes think of joking around as a very loose, comical thing, but the way I originally saw him, and the way I think we’re taking it now, is that comedy is a shell he’s using to approach the world. He’s using this lighthearted joviality as an attempt to either gain information or defuse situations, and I think it’s still coming from a place of hurt. Which is interesting.
How would you characterize the Archie/Jughead relationship?
Much more sibling than friend. The way Jughead talks to Archie and vice versa is very much the way I would talk to my twin. It’s one of those things where, if someone is doing something wrong and they’re your close friend, you’re close enough to them to be like, “Cut it the hell out. You’re really being destructive.” But they’re also childhood friends who have carried childhood understandings of morality into this darker period of their lives. They’re trying to accept this fluctuating version of their friendship while simultaneously retaining those strong morals of childhood.
Much like a sibling, Jughead would defend Archie from others, even if the two of them were on the outs.
I think that’s the important distinction: The fights that they’re having or the tension they are having is more temporary than it seems, but still legitimate. They are consistently trying to define their place in the world based on how their moralities and their biases are changing.
Why is Jughead the narrator?
He’s more objective than the rest of the town. He is now, especially within this universe, a character that fits on the outside of his society, and I think that gives him an interesting perspective on the inner workings of it. It gives him the perfect point of view to say, “This person’s crazy, this person’s not crazy.” But I also think he’s the narrator because it flatters him. I think Jughead’s a selfish character. I think he really is. I really do feel like Jughead tries to influence people based on his own understanding of what they should be and his own understanding of himself. It’s quite vain to think, I’m so cool and on the outside of society that I can write about everybody. That’s not common at all among teenagers. [Laughs.]
No, not common at all.
I think he’s the narrator for those reasons, but mainly because he’s on the outside. The primary cast of Archie, to me, has always been Betty, Veronica, Archie, and Jughead. It’s the core four. I think the way the show was originally written was very much the love triangle between the three, and Jughead needed a place. That also satisfies that requirement for Jughead, but I really think it’s because he’s an outsider and it gives him interesting perspective.
When we spoke at San Diego Comic-Con, you compared the show to Rian Johnson’s indie-noir movie Brick and Charles Burns’s surreal horror comic Black Hole. What do you see in those works that’s echoed in Riverdale?
I think Brick is a more obvious one than Black Hole, especially because Black Hole is not as widely known. Brick is this otherwise-teen drama in a local setting that, all of a sudden, reveals itself to be quite a heavy and dangerous situation. Through style and tone and genre elements, you’re able to tease out this really fun, enjoyable watch. But Black Hole is another example of a hyperstylized narrative that takes place within a teenage setting and dramatizes an otherwise-recognizable teenage experience — a super-relatable teenage experience — into something that can be more dastardly and dangerous and scary and frightening.
Y’know, I think, inherently, when you hear something like a teenage narrative come into play, even the idea that it’s being called “teenage” is a notion that it’s being reduced to a problem that’s not quite adult. That’s a problematic thing to say about a narrative that could actually be dangerous, could be hurtful, could be upsetting. Things could go wrong. That’s what we’re going for: this small-town feeling of claustrophobia and relatable issues that we all grow up with. We want to tease out the elements of fear within those things and have people relate to them.
Since you’re a comics geek, have you reached out to any of the Archie Comics creators?
Not so much with the comics creators. Now there’s a Riverdale universe that’s gonna take off in print form now, too. Roberto has talked to me about writing a couple of those, which would be awesome. I’d love to try my hand at that.
What did you think of the choice to have Jughead be asexual in the comics?
I think it’s great, personally. I wasn’t hyperfamiliar with Archie Comics before the show, and I started my research just after Jughead had been announced as asexual. Now, Jughead’s asexuality is very recent. And it’s only been announced within one comic of [writer Chip] Zdarsky’s Jughead, which is not the digests. If it’s announced in the digest, to me, then it’s etched in stone. But clearly, there’s a group of people who really resonated with Jughead’s asexuality, and that alone begs an interest in that representation and a demand for that representation.
In this universe, we’re all aware now that Jughead’s not asexual. Or, at least, that narrative has not been explored. But that doesn’t reduce the importance of that happening in Zdarsky’s universe, at all. That kind of representation is more needed now than ever. I hope the comments upon Jughead’s sexuality, which is a question I receive all the time, display an interest in that kind of representation — enough for it to reach a more mainstream platform.
Not to get too political, but it’s interesting that Riverdale came out right after a presidential campaign that won with this idea of, “We’re going back to a different kind of America.” Archie Comics have historically been an idyllic look at an American consensus that never really existed.
I was just thinking about this.
What were you thinking?
Well, I was thinking about what it means to be representing such a fundamental, all-American kind of narrative with this platform of Donald Trump being a return to an all-American understanding. I haven’t really come to a conclusion about what it means, but the timing could not be more uncanny. Whenever someone says, or whenever someone harkens back to, a golden age of the U.S. — usually the ‘40s or ‘50s — 90 percent of the time, they’re a straight white man.
I think Archie fits within this very interesting place, where the first iteration of those comics came out of that same exact time period. That also puts us in a perfect position to try and show the reality of that narrative. Archie holds a responsibility upon itself as a product of this “golden age,” which is something I think we need to recognize and accept and confront. Is it my job as an actor? Probably not as much as it is the writers’ and some of those other guys’, but I still think it’s an important conversation piece. Hopefully we can find a place within that conversation and sit at one end of that table, and whoever else is sitting at that table, we can reach some consensus about how we deal with the past and how we deal with this image of an older version of ourselves, which Archie very much informs. I would be honored to be a part of that conversation.Source: vulture.com

Why Cole Sprouse Returned To Acting With 'Riverdale'
— And What Could Make Him Leave AgainBy Martha Sorren In the six-year interim between The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and Riverdale, it seemed like Cole Sprouse had given up acting for good. After his Disney Channel show ended in 2011, he and his twin brother Dylan seemingly hung up their acting shoes and traded their extraordinary lives for those of ordinary college students. But after graduating from NYU in 2015, Cole Sprouse decided to return to acting on TV and tells Bustle why he made the big leap back to the small screen after so many years away.
"I had taken an intentional break away from acting, because I was going a little insane," Sprouse says. "But then I graduated, I saw my education all the way through, and pilot season had come up." That's when Sprouse read the script for Riverdale, The CW's re-imagination of the classic Archie comic series that currently airs on Thursdays at 9 p.m. Sprouse plays Jughead, who narrates the show and sets the rather dark tone of the murder mystery series. (He still eats burgers, though, don't worry.)
"I read the pilot for Riverdale and really enjoyed it, so when I got the role I decided to fulfill my obligation and see where it would take me," Sprouse says. "It seemed like the right project, because it was interesting and well-written. It was a new character that I haven’t tried before." This version of Jughead is definitely a departure for Sprouse, who spent six years of his life playing the rule-abiding Cody to his brother's too-cool-for-school Zack. It's clear both from hearing him speak about the role and watching his performance that Jughead is a character he takes very seriously. So much so that he's been openly expressing his desire for the show to keep Jughead asexual like he is in the more recent Chip Zdarsky version of the comics.Of course, as an actor and as a human, I am all for that kind of representation."I believe underrepresented forms of sexuality and romanticism need to be represented in mainstream media, just because it makes our society more accustomed to otherness," Sprouse says, while acknowledging that it's also ultimately not his decision to make. "A lot of these articles have selectively quoted me in a way that makes it seem like I have this kind of control or flexibility over the character that I don’t," he says. "This is a new universe for Archie, so, even if I’m fighting for that kind of representation, it needs to make sense to the universe itself or it’s going to seem out of place. But, of course, as an actor and as a human, I am all for that kind of representation."
Sprouse chooses his words carefully, seemingly determined to say only exactly what he means. It's easy to see why. Growing up in the public eye, everything he said or did faced scrutiny. To this day, fame is something he frequently tries to make sense of. In 2012, he started an Instagram account called camera_duels. The account bio describes itself as being "dedicated to the people out there who secretly take photos of me, and how I take photos of them first. May the fastest camera win." Sprouse's camera won 47 times before he stopped posting about a year ago. "It became kind of a game," he says of the account, which has almost 750,000 followers. "But, more so, it became a way for me to come to terms with this thing that’s actually quite annoying in a way that was fun." Like many celebrities, Sprouse is no stranger to having his photo taken, but says he prefers when people ask rather than try to sneak a shot, which can be violating to him. "The distance between you as a person and the photographer is a real form of objectification that makes you feel quite a bit like a zoo animal," he says. "If all it takes [is] exercising humanity and asking a single question in order to break down that distance, I think it’s really important."
But, camera_duels isn't the only way Sprouse has tried to grapple with the idea of fame. In 2012, he caused quite a stir when he conducted a social experiment on Tumblr. Sprouse joined the blogging site under the name Coleture Concept and immediately began attracting fan attention. He patiently answered questions, told jokes, posted silly selfies — he appeared to blend right into the tight-knit Tumblr community. He was relatable enough that he seemingly transcended celebrity and became "one of us."
So, when he later revealed that the whole thing was a study in how people would react to being observed, people felt betrayed. He'd seemed like a friend to the site's users, and their trust was shattered. But, reflecting on the experiment, Sprouse stands by his decision to conduct it. He says it wasn't for a class, but for his own curiosity and exploration."I don’t want people to be angry, but I think I do want people to reinvestigate perhaps why they were angry. What semblance of trust do they really believe they had?" he asks. "I’ve always had a fear issue with how people are so willing to call a person they have absolutely no firm understanding of their friend or their enemy." Still, he understands why people were upset. "Their anger wasn’t surprising to me, because I think people want to believe they’re having a very real interaction with someone of celebrity or fame or even infamy in a way that makes an impact or makes them feel unique."
But, Sprouse says that false feeling of friendship sometimes had scary real life results. "I had people at college that had been part of the whole experiment thing calling me out in the street, taking it from virtual media to a real world interaction. They would ridicule me on the street and corner me on the street and talk to me about it," he recalls. "There are these interactions that we believe we have in these virtual mediums or with celebrities ... that have almost a real world witch hunting-like set of actions. I think that’s interesting and dangerous and needs to be reinvestigated."
Though he's now back in the spotlight as a star of Riverdale, Sprouse can get out of acting as quickly as he got back in if he feels it's necessary. "The second acting becomes unfulfilling to me, I can leave, and that’s something that helps me stay sane," he says. "I’m not thinking about acting as this sort of long-term journey. If it makes sense and feels right to me, I’ll stay in it or I’ll explore it, but the second it becomes unfulfilling or unenjoyable, I’m just leaving it."
So, enjoy it while you can, because you never know when Sprouse may step away again for a new career — or his next social experiment.Source: bustle.com

WHAT HAS JUGHEAD SO RILED UP ON RIVERDALE THIS WEEK? (EXCLUSIVE)By Sydney BucksbaumJughead (Cole Sprouse) has made it pretty clear that he’s no fan of Riverdale (well, make that Riverdale the town, not Riverdale the show). From one scandal to the next, as each dark secret is uncovered, his sardonic commentary on the town and the people who live in it has become our roadmap to The CW’s gritty Archie Comics drama (whether or not he’s a reliable narrator has yet to be proven, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves). But is he about to reach his final straw in his contempt for Riverdale? Nerdist has your exclusive first look at tonight’s all-new episode, “The Last Picture Show,” and the moment when Jughead learns that his beloved local spot, the Twilight Drive-In, is about to close down for good. Apparently an “anonymous buyer” has purchased the land with an offer that Mayor McCoy (Robin Givens) couldn’t refuse—which, yes, Veronica (Camila Mendes) is right: that definitely sounds more than a little sketchy. Who would need to hide the fact that they’re buying up a plot of land in Riverdale?
Despite the finality of the agreement, Jughead is going to fight desperately to keep the Twilight Drive-In open. But first, he’s going to rant all about how this deal is the final nail in the coffin that is Riverdale …and the American Dream (either Juggie doesn’t really understand the meaning of hyperbole or he just doesn’t care). He’s pretty riled up, but at least that gives us a speech chock full of cinephile references that would make any Quentin Tarantino fan proud. We’re talking peak Jughead here! And who knew that high school students would be so educated about classic movies? It’s enough to make anyone a little self-conscious about their own movie knowledge. But tonight’s drama-filled episode has more than just Jughead’s mission to keep the drive-in open. “The Last Picture Show” also finds Betty (Lili Reinhart) putting her friendship with Archie (KJ Apa) on the line after stumbling upon some startling information she’s uncovered about Miss Grundy’s (Sarah Habel) past. Could she have something to do with Jason Blossom’s (Trevor Stines) murder after all, or is the truth even darker than that? It’s been pretty clear since the series premiere that Grundy has been hiding something, but whether it’s her true intentions with Archie or something else has yet to be seen. And will Betty’s mother Alice (Madchen Amick) destroy Archie’s golden boy image after finding Betty’s diary full of secrets? Man, The CW’s version of Alice Cooper could not be further from the comic book version.
Why do you think the drive-in closing down has got Jughead so upset? What are you most excited to see from tonight’s all-new episode? Tweet me your thoughts, opinions and questions at @sydneybucksbaum!

Jughead Jones   Archie Comics Archie Comics CWJughead Jones is one of the Riverdale characters who is most different to his comic book version. He’s still an outsider, but whereas in the comics he gives zero fucks and is pretty damn lazy, on the show he is much more of a tortured teen, proactively trying to solve the murder mystery and write a noir novel. While Archie and Jughead are pretty solid in the comics, they have a weird rift going on in the show. Plus, the always-hungry Jughead is sadly yet to consume a single hamburger on screen, and there’s no indication so far that the show will stay true to his long-standing hatred of relationships (which was confirmed as asexuality in 2016). At least he still has that crown beanie.Source: buzzfeed.com -> Here’s What The Archie Characters Look Like In "Riverdale" Vs The Comics by Jenna Guillaume

Cole Sprouse Talks His Disney Days: 'It Gave Me A Profound Work Ethic' Cole Sprouse is looking back on his Disney Channel days in a way that most haven’t — with gratefulness.
“The show gave me a profound work ethic,” he shared about both The Suite Life series with TheLast magazine. “I never missed a day of work in the eight years I was there, and it really taught me to push myself and drive myself.”
However, Cole says that acting on Disney is an entirely different kind of acting: “The danger of being on a show like that for eight years is that you lose purpose.
“Continuing the show is oftentimes the most dangerous thing to do as an actor because purpose is the currency for quality work as an actor.”
The Riverdale star also shared what he really thinks of some Disney stars who went to the extreme to reinvent themselves.
“It’s one of those things that gets written off as humorous when you watch a child entertainer try to redefine themselves, but it can be an intense identity crisis,” he shared. “I think in our modern society we have a much greater understanding of the importance of personal identity and how we see ourselves and I’m hoping that over time people latch onto the fact that this hurts people and they have a little more respect for something like that.”Source: justjaredjr.com

Cole Sprouse Doesn't Mind Tampering With 'Riverdale's Origin Story Cole Sprouse is open to every new experience that comes his way.
The Riverdale actor opened up in his latest interview with The Last magazine about ripping apart Riverdale’s original Archie story, how it didn’t sit well with him for a while before accepting it as a whole.
“When I first heard the abstract, it kind of put a sour taste in my mouth,” he revealed, talking about the script he was given. “I come from a comic background—I worked at a comic shop—and when you hear about a dark and gritty take on an otherwise beloved franchise, that’s all the wrong buzzwords for the right project.”
“Nothing really dubious happens in the original Archie Digests, but as I started to do more research, I realized the universe of Archie is really wide open,” Cole added, citing more background into the canon stories. “The Punisher comes to Archie, Archie dies when he gets shot trying to protect his friend, and in the new comics, zombies come to Archie. So it seemed like the road had been paved for a while for something like this.”
Cole shared more about the comparisons with the show and what’s going on in politics right now.
Click inside to read more…
“We live in a society right now that’s obsessed with this golden-age America mentality,” he explains. “Trump’s whole campaign was built around ‘Make America Great Again,’ which essentially is a play towards the same era that Archie arose out of that is this golden, perfect world.”
Cole continues, “I don’t mind how we may be tampering with this idea of a golden age because of my personal political stance. I don’t think that ‘everything is perfect and jolly’ is a perspective that makes any sense. Our society is either primed perfectly for a more contemporary view of this classic American property or they’re going to rebel against it. It’s the same political division within our society right now.”Source: justjaredjr.com

Riverdale's KJ Apa & Cole Sprouse Are Inseparable After First Season Wrap KJ Apa and Cole Sprouse apparently can’t leave each other’s side.
The two actors snapped a pic together in San Francisco, after wrapping the first season of Riverdale earlier this week.
We’re definitely not complaining – it’s a hot pic! And it looks like it was KJ (not Archie) that got his hand injured.
In a new interview, KJ recalled his audition for the lead role of the series.
“I’d just come over from New Zealand, and Riverdale was my first audition,” he shared. “So I remember going to the studio, auditioning with Dave, and it was kind of nothing. Nothing was really there, nothing happened.”
But they decided to bring him in again — good choice!
“K.J. read for us and he was immediately Archie Andrews,” showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa said. “It was the right combination of earnestness and edge. And he played the guitar like a dream.”http://instagr.am/p/BQpEQT3hhje Source: justjaredjr.com

K.J. Apa and Cole Sprouse Are BFF GoalsWe have the selfies to prove it.By Brianna Wiest It's no secret that the cast of Riverdale is close. (You'd have to be when you spend your days playing best friends – and enemies – trying to solve a murder.) But now with the cast having finally wrapped on filming season one, it seems they're taking a minute to commemorate their friendships with some selfies – what else?
Yesterday, K.J. took to Instagram to post a mirror pic of him and Cole. "The boys are in San Fran," he said. The photo reveals that K.J's hand is indeed broken, and that it's him, and not Archie, who sustained the injury. If this is the case, it's yet to be seen how the Riverdale writers will work that into the storyline.http://instagr.am/p/BQpEQT3hhje Of course, this is far from the first photo that the cast members have taken or posted of one another. Just a few days ago, K.J. posted another up close photo of Cole and captioned it: "The sprousemaster." He's also posted selfies with co-star Lili Reinhart and some cute cast party photos, too.
Cole is also known for being a very skilled photographer. He posts pretty impressive pictures to his Instagram account, many of which feature some of his Riverdale costars.http://instagr.am/p/BPEKwcAjqRE It remains to be seen whether Riverdale will be renewed for another season. We can only hope that either way, the BFF photos will continue.Source: teenvogue.com

Riverdale: Cole Sprouse Discusses Jughead & BurgersBy Craig ByrneBeyond the debate or whether or not the character of Jughead Jones in The CW’s Riverdale would or should be asexual, many are wondering why we haven’t seen much of Jughead with his #1 true love from the comic books: Burgers, long a staple of the character since his first appearance in 1941.
While on a recent visit to the Riverdale sets in Vancouver, we asked actor Cole Sprouse if we will, in fact, be seeing Jughead scarfing down some burgers.
“I’m a big fan of Death Note, and L in Death Note is one of those characters… actually, L and Jughead are kind of similar now that I think of it… but L is one of those characters that eats and it becomes a sort of cute little trademark of his,” Sprouse recalled. “And Jughead is this sleuth and this kid who in the digests was constantly eating. So in most scenes, Jughead is eating. It’s not a hamburger, though, because we didn’t want to beat fans over the head with this idea that ‘This is the Digest!’ There are very fundamental narrative strings that still attach themselves to this sort of old world Archie Digest and one of the things that’s hardest to integrate into a darker version is this kid going ‘I need hamburgers!’ like Wimpy. We found ways to play with that, and certainly in these last three episodes, the burger-eating has picked up, but he is eating quite a bit. Whether it’s chips, whether it’s hamburgers, whether it’s sandwiches, a lot of the scenes, Jughead is stuffing his face.”
And how does Sprouse prepare for all of these scenes where he’d be eating? “I sold enough Danimals on those commercials to be able to understand how to consume foods,” Sprouse laughed. “When I know I have a scene where I have to eat a lot, I just won’t eat for a couple of hours ahead of time. I understand that people want to see Jughead eating. I get it! People want to see him eating, so it’s nice in a scene to show him stuffing his face, even if it’s for half a second.”Source: ksitetv.com
