Chris McCarthy, president of MTV, VH1 and Logo, told Variety that the show is part of the network’s recognition of the importance of the digital world and social media in the lives of young people.
“The digital component is what’s new but we’re still looking at tried and true principles that young people face,” McCarthy said. “So much of it plays out in the social and digital world. Our shows need to reflect that.”
