Innertube debuts 'Hook Me Up'

Filed in archive Internet TV on October 3, 2006

There are many times I get to write about a series debut show from television that is also being streamed online. But today there is a kick-off for a Web-only show called Hook Me Up on CBS's innertube broadband channel.

This is in the reality show tradition, featuring four singles who "brave the world of online dating," with some help from the Internet audience, which gets to vote to determine each dater's online match.

Each single gets four suitors, which you, the Web surfer, will cut down to one. Some key piece of information about each prospective dater will be withheld until the end. By the end, innertube will reveal if that has any impact on the ultimate "love connection."

Voting began at 9 a.m. Monday with voting closed by 5 p.m. of that day. The series airs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
