We normally film in-studio every Wednesday and the show is aired on ATV and online by Thursday or Friday. Unfortunately, this week we were not able to film because of the snow.
This is where the usefulness of the internet comes into play! We cannot leave our loyal viewers with nothing, so this week we will be writing articles on the StarStudded blog that will inform everyone of what would have been on the episode. Here is a sneak peak of a few correspondent segments that were planned for this week:
- Inexpensive Valentine's Day gift ideas for any guy: Noreen Raja (co-host) brings us some fun and creative gift ideas that will not break our budgets! A couple gifts include a basket full of fun snacks and a movie rental gift certificate and homemade gift certificates for a home-cooked meal.
- Top 5 Romantic movies: You will have to ask Lauren K-F (correspondent) for any details on this topic!
- How to spend Valentine's Day with friends: Kaityln Wozniak (correspondent) tells how to stay happy (not SAD) on V-day, with alternative ideas on how to spend the day if we do not have a significant other.
Although I am disappointed that we were unable to film the episode, I am grateful for blogs and the web's ability to relay information. By posting articles with pictures, videos and links to other websites, our viewers will not miss out on this week's cancelled episode. I would classify StarStudded as an "entertainment news" program, and furthermore our information is timely. If we do not post our articles by Friday, the episode will lack "newness" and readers will not be interested in reading the blog. I hope that everyone likes the articles and will tune into the new episode of StarStudded that we will film next week.

I think it's great that the StarStudded show format translates so easily into a blog format. I feel like print and web are two mediums that married easily, but when you have a TV show that cannot upload video to a website, the transition isn't as smooth. Going from video, where you have audio, visual, and text to a simple blog post while keeping the same essence of the show is an accomplishment.
