MTV has tapped eight underclassmen from the University of Wisconsin-Madison for an experiment in reality TV. Rather than trailing the kids with a camera crew, the network gave them their own cameras. They spent several months documenting their lives, and MTV has assembled the footage in a show called College Life. It premieres at 9:30 p.m. on Monday, April 13.
“Technology has democratized the filmmaking process for our viewers,â? says Tony DiSanto, head of MTV programming. â??That fact combined with this generation’s real-time publishing online of every aspect of their lives brings us into a new era of honesty and openness, and College Life exemplifies this.”
