MYSPACETV
LAUNCHES HIDDEN-CAMERA ORIGINAL SERIES
'SPECIAL DELIVERY'
First of 18
Original Episodes Globally Available
Today on MySpaceTV
LOS ANGELES-February 26, 2008-MySpace,
the world's most popular social network,
today announced the launch of 'Special
Delivery' (http://www.myspace.com/specialdelivery
<http://www.myspace.com/specialdelivery>
), an outrageous, non-scripted
hidden-camera reality show in
association with Avalon TV and its
executive producers Jason Irwin and
Garth Holsinger. The launch of 'Special
Delivery' marks MySpace's second
co-development project and the second
original web show created specifically
for MySpaceTV (http://www.myspacetv.com).
"By working with talented producers to
tailor-make a property for the MySpace
audience, 'Special Delivery' is an
exciting step in our burgeoning
relationship with Hollywood," said
Cristian Cussen, Director of Marketing
and Content for MySpaceTV. "With the
success of programs like 'Prom Queen', 'quarterlife',
and 'Roommates', we've learned our users
have a major appetite for premium
content, and 'Special Delivery' feeds
that demand in a very funny way."
The official 'Special Delivery' MySpace
profile (http://www.myspace.com/specialdelivery)
will house all show episodes, on-demand
archives, and other interactive content.
Users will also be able to friend the
profile, receive regular updates from
the show and share episodes with friends
using blogs, bulletins and adding videos
to their profiles. MySpaceTV will
unveil two different 'Special Delivery'
episodes per week.
"Would you do a birthday dance for my
dog?" and "Will you help me propose to
the love of my life?" are just two of
the eighteen crazy situations which
'Special Delivery' puts unsuspecting
delivery men and women in. Shot at
multiple specially-rigged locations in
the Las Vegas area, 'Special Delivery'
will leave viewers speechless when they
watch the unbelievable lengths people go
to when a tip is involved.
"Both Avalon Television and our
executives producers, Jason Irwin and
Garth Holsinger, have thoroughly enjoyed
working with MySpace on 'Special
Delivery', said David Martin, President
of Avalon TV. "The team at MySpace has
empowered us with a great deal of
creative freedom and we hope that in
'Special Delivery' we have produced an
original comedy series whose sense of
outrageous fun will be enjoyed by the
entire MySpace community."
