Bebo inspires ‘snack TV’ show

A THREE-minute soap aimed at attracting a new generation of Irish teenagers who enjoy bite-size video entertainment on the internet starts on RTÉ next week.

The new programme, called Aisling’s Diary, is modelled on the hit online drama, Sofia’s Diary,that debuted in March on the social networking website, Bebo.

The format used for both productions is described as “snack TV” — a new buzz-word for short-form videos normally shown on the internet.
