Every month, five-minute TV shows are screened for a live audience in New York City. The audience votes to renew some shows and cancel others.

The top five shows become the new "prime time" lineup; losing shows are banished forever.

The next month, prime time shows return with new episodes, pitted against each other and a crop of fresh new pilots.

At Channel 102, your entertainment destiny is in your hands. If you like a show, nurture it with your votes and it will bloom into a series. If you don't like a show, it goes away. Wouldn't it be great if "real" television worked this way?

channel102.net Screenings are the first Monday of every month, at 7 and 8:30pm, at Pianos Bar in Manhattan. See you there.

Watch our shows. Then make one.

How It Works:

Anyone, anywhere mails in a pilot that is five minutes or less, on a miniDV tape.

The creators of the prime time shows watch all submissions.

They pick the best ones to be screened.

At the screening, a live audience watches the new pilots and new episodes of the prime time shows.

The audience votes. Top 5 shows become the new prime time lineup. All new shows not in the top 5 are failed pilots; all returning shows not in the top 5 are cancelled.

Repeat.
