Silicon Valley Biz Ink reports that eBay is resurrecting its idea for a daytime television show. Sony Picture Television's sales team will try to sign up television-station groups at an annual convention of TV programming executives (NATPE), which will be held January 20-23 in New Orleans.
Last May, eBay confirmed the pilot had been shot, but the producer LMNO Productions later backed out of the project. The original concept for the syndicated show, which was to air last September, was for a daily half-hour format featuring a combination of user experiences on the eBay auction site and in-studio discussion and interviews. Live auction bidding was also planned.
