HLN is making a Facebook TV show

The pilot has been picked up by HLN—the network that’s like CNN but isn’t CNN—and it will somehow “use the popular social network to find and tell interesting stories.” HLN says it doesn’t want it to “feel like The Facebook Show,” whatever that means, but beyond that we don’t know much about the project. Variety even says that “the network remains uncertain so far as to what form the program will ultimately take.” However, “the initial ideas…are very encouraging,” according to Facebook, which doesn’t really tell us anything. - Sam Barsanti,The A.V.
