San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 22, 2006

Veoh Networks (http://www.veoh.com), the leading innovator in Internet television, recently debuted 'Viral,' a ground-breaking weekly Internet television news show that features exclusive news, celebrity and producer interviews and first-look sneak peeks at today's most popular shows on the Internet.

'Viral' also offers tips and tricks on how to create your own Internet television show and advice on how to succeed in this exciting and emerging space.

Each Friday a new episode of 'Viral,' hosted by award-winning broadcaster Sunny Gault, gives viewers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the world of Internet television.

This week's show, which launched on Friday, December 15, 2006, features:

• Jet Set Show -- Get a behind the scenes look at one of the first Internet video shows to specifically concentrate on teens. Viral talks with the creators Steve Woolf and Zadi Diaz about the different ways they interact with their viewers -- including their current project called "Brandon's Pitch." Brandon is a 14-year-old fan who, with the help of the Jet Set Show, is creating his own three-part mini series. Viewers are helping Brandon write the scripts through the Jet Set Show Wiki.

• Five Things -- This week we learn more about Jerry, the main character from "It's Jerry Time." The series is animated, but Jerry is a real person.

• In-Focus -- This week focuses on James Kim, a senior editor at CNET who recently died while trying to save his family in a snowstorm. A website has been set up for anyone wishing to send condolences or contribute to a special fund for the family. We'll also announce the launch of our "Wiki Webisode Challenge". From now through January 5th, Viral viewers can log onto our wiki and create their own Internet video show using some basic tools. We'll use their script (barring any nudity or profanity) and act it out in a January episode. This is a great way for viewers to collaborate with one another to create their own Internet show. In our tutorial this week, we show viewers how to frame the perfect shot.

'Viral' is produced exclusively for Veoh and helmed by executive producer and host Sunny Gault.

New episodes are available each week on http://www.veoh.com.
