In this technology age, I could see this becoming a new way to do game shows. With Skype making teleconferencing available to the point of where news reporters even do liveshots with it, I can only imagine how much money this saves, as opposed to the expenses of renting a studio, hiring a production crew and host, and flying in contestants/providing accommodations. I imagine the cost of mounting such a product is far cheaper than Paranoia was 12 years ago...
The paragraph doesn't offer too much info, but it sounds like a spin on the late night call-in and lose shows from the mid-2000s, just more professionally produced.
I'm not in a Scripps market (though their name is on my alma mater's j-school), but I'm interested to see how this turns out. If anything, it's a promising new concept and another game for a somewhat lean genre.
