TV shows with internet content theme? on MySpace, YouTube, blogs or vlogs, apart from Lily Allen and Friends on BBC Three TV

Does anyone know of a mainstream television program whose main theme is stuff from the internet; ie. content from on MySpace, YouTube, blogs, vlogs or the like?
The only one I've come across the BBC Three TV show entitled Lily Allen and Friends based on the social networking phenomenon that helped to launch the music career of Lily Allen.

Lily Allen and Friends is a British TV talk show presented by Lily Allen.
The programme features a video diary of Lily's life outside the programme and a section titled weird and wonderful, highlighting internet videos in the YouTube Hero and MySpace Band items.

Popularity on MySpace

Allen created an account on MySpace and began posting demos in November 2005.[30] The demos attracted thousands of listeners, and 500 limited edition 7" vinyl singles of "LDN" were rush-released, reselling for as much as £40.[13][30]

. . .

As she accumulated tens of thousands of MySpace friends, The Observer Music Monthly, a magazine published in The Observer, took interest.[13] . . . In March 2006, OMM included an article about Allen's success through MySpace, and she received her first major mainstream coverage appearing in the magazine's cover story two months later.

. . .

Allen received a 2008 NME Award nomination for the category of "Best Band Blog"[33]

As of 25 April 2008 Allen's songs have been downloaded from her MySpace page 19 million times.[34]
