No Season 2 on MTV…
Yes, we’re sorry to report that there will not be a season two of of How’s Your News? on MTV. Everyone agreed that first season was a success and a huge accomplishment, but after a lot of deliberation it was decided that doing a second season on their network wouldn’t make sense. The decision had little to do with the quality of the series, which was one of the most enthusiastically received and best reviewed programs on mtv this year. It’s just a tough financial time and mtv needed to keep pushing for higher ratings with other shows. Also, we always knew that our series was an unusual fit for their style of programming. We’re not “The Hills” or “America’s Next Best Dance Crew” after all…
Everyone at HYN is really proud of making this show happen and the new ground we broke. Each episode averaged about 700,000 viewers, which is pretty amazing. The series is running on mtv Canada right now and will soon be airing worldwide on international tv as well, an opportunity most shows don’t get. We feel it is incredibly important and meaningful that our program played so prominently on a mainstream network and was received with such respect. We’ve received hundreds of emails and letters from young people with renewed attitudes, families expressing gratitude, people with disabilities feeling inspired, etc. We feel like the show really did make a difference. Take a look at our facebook page sometime to see a sample of some of the great feedback, and feel free to leave some of your own!

So, what is next for HYN? We’re not sure, but hey, it isn’t over. We’ve gotten a lot of interesting offers for future projects, screenings, etc. and we’ll just have to see which ones make the most sense now. We’ll keep posting new videos right here on this site and providing news updates regularly. We’ve got lots more to say, so please, stay tuned. Like Jeremy said at the end of this season, “It’s not the end guys, it’s only the begining…”













I was a huge fan of the original hows your news documentary, and loved the mtv episodes. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for the hyn crew! Keep up the good work. You guys are a real inspiration.
