Dish Nation is a new TMZ-inspired TV show in which popular
DJs in five different markets riff on entertainment news and the latest foibles
of the Kardashians, various Real Housewives, run-amok performers, misbehaving
royals and other celebrity clowns.
According to Kevin Downey at tvnewscheck.com, the half-hour
strip from Twentieth Television, which debuted on Monday, rapidly cycles
through clips of the DJs recorded during their live radio shows. The gab and
laughter — lots of laughter — are enhanced with images of the targets of the
DJs' barbs.
For the premiere season that began this week, the
participating radio shows are Scott & Todd (Scott Shannon and Todd
Pettengill) on WPLJ-FM New York, DJ Laz on WRMA-FM Miami, Kidd Kraddick on
KISS-FM Dallas, Rickey Smiley on WHTA-FM Atlanta and Blaine & Allyson
(Blaine Fowler and Allyson Martinek) on WDVD-FM Detroit.
The show is cleared on stations reaching 95% of the country,
including the Fox O&Os in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Pulling it all together is Studio City, a production company
in Hollywood. It's a remarkable technical and organizational feat.
