The world'ss first Web-to-TV talent show, Make A Star, officially debuts Saturday, December 6th at 10:30 a.m. ET/PT on FUSE.



Make A Star marks the beginning of a new era in entertainment, where the Internet and television are no longer separate, but linked, said Dr. Iman Foroutan, Chairman and CEO of Equal Chance Productions and Contest Factory, which created and developed the show. Dr. Foroutan and Contest Factory also own the patent to the online contest process. This new show marks a major advancement in interactive entertainment and points to a new direction for the industry, when user-generated content will become an ever increasing part of television.



The first Make A Star show to air on FUSE will feature eight artists and bands from around the country - including New Jersey, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, California and Maryland - who submitted their original songs via the online site.



The show is also launching a special Holiday Carol a capella contest that will air on December 13th, with the winner to claim a $1,000 cash prize.



Make A Star will run for 13 weeks on FUSE and is dramatically different from other reality contestant shows, like American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. Dubbed the equal chance show, Make A Star uses a patented online process, making it easier for more people around the world to participate in the competition by simply uploading a video of their performance, rather than having to travel to far away cities to audition. The show also isn'st limited to young contestants. Anyone who is over 16 years old may participate.
