So I decided to email HDNet

Here is the email I sent to HDNet: Dear Ms. McCalmont, I have come up with a very new idea for a TV/Internet show. The working title of the show is called "Bloggers". It would be a weekly, half-hour or hour-long television show. The main character will be this 42 year-old guy that starts blogging and he joins a blog site that has an interactive area. By blogging daily, he meets 5 other characters that have nothing in common except that they are daily visitors to the blogging site. Every week, the stories are about what the characters do in their real lives contrasted with what they blog. The characters vary in accuracy of blogging what is reality and what is online persona. Is that an interesting show? I think so, but anyone can come up with that idea. Here is the BIG part of the BIG idea. The show producers - ideally this would be me - create the blog site for real. And the characters from the show actually blog all week, according to the show's script for the week. Here's the big hook - anyone that wants to can join the blog. Create their own blogs on the site, interact with the characters. As additional incentive for the viewers to participate, the show would incorporate one of the public bloggers into the script for the show. Why would this be commercially viable you ask? Well, first the show would be good. HDNet could pick up all the traditional sponsors. Then you charge $5 or $10 bucks a month for the public to join the blog. Then you sell advertising space on all the blogs. See! This is a great idea. Interactive TV, combining television and the internet, this idea has it all. It really would work. I have ideas for the first six characters. I know what the web site should look like and what features should go on there. Now all I need is to get help in producing the show. I think this would be a very good candidate for your network, given the forward thinking of the executives at HDNet. Also, it would seem like a logical fit for the "billionaire blogger".
