In memory of the great Walter Cronkite, we’re posting this wonderful interview he did with HYN reporter Ron Simonsen way back in the early days at Camp Jabberwocky. We’ll miss you Walter. That’s the way it is…

Keep on truckin’

We want to thank all the nice folks who have written in to say how much they enjoyed season 1 on mtv. It was a huge thrill for us and we’ll continue to look for opportunities to report the news as we see it. This website will continue to post clips and news from the gang. We got a lot of requests to make more of the HYN T-shirts like the ones worn on the mtv series (pictured above on Jeremy and Lucas), so we did that. If you’re interested, please buy some here! Doing so will help support this website and our future endeavors.

The HYN production crew rocks the T’s while singing back-up for Sue Harrington at SXSW in Austin:

No Season 2 on MTV…

Arthur — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 19:30:33 +0000

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…”

How’s Your News Goes the the Prom

Arthur — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 23:25:02 +0000

When we were filming around DC Jeremy said the thing he most wanted to do was go report from the prom at his old high school. So we called up the folks at Quince Orchard High School in Maryland and they said, “Jeremy? Sure thing!”. So we went to the prom and Sue rated everyone’s outfit. Plus we danced until they politely asked us to leave.
