rePETS.tv begins as a website. Its favourite companion is a ½-hour ‘infotainment' television series also called rePETS.tv. The series is currently in development with PBS (WETA Washington, DC.)
The TV series features professionally produced content AND outstanding user-generated content contributed by online community members. User-generated content is uploaded to the rePETS.tv website, and then repackaged into segments wrapped with credible personalities and outstanding graphics. The television program and website will encourage viewers to upload video, audio and blog material generating ongoing fresh content online and for the TV series. The contemporary, fast paced series will be evergreen; the website fresh, current and fluid. Viewers will have a say about what material makes it into the television program by ranking and rating online video submissions and photos.
Our TV series host is animal enthusiast Mary Bissell, who has worked on several award-winning animal productions.
rePETS.tv viewers will see a new side of their favourite celebs in the show's "Celebrity PetCam" segment, providing fascinating, furry tales from the worlds of film, fashion and more!
rePETS.tv has the support of the SPCA. Musician/Songwriter Sarah McLachlan's efforts to raise awareness and support for the SPCA are supported by rePETS.tv. A short SPCA PSA will appear at the end of each episode.
