Dan Koelsch, August 10, 2010

MTV has named it’s first “Twitter Jockey,” Comedy Central has ordered a pilot for “Dwaynebook,” and Netflix has stuck a deal with Epix; all of these are headlines in today’s Internet News roundup.

MTV finished it’s search for a new Twitter “face” of the TV network, naming Gabi Gregg the first Twitter Jockey. In addition to taking over the MTVTJ Twitter account, Gabi is on a $100,000 dollar salary and moving to New York where she’ll be coving events and working for MTV.

In other news, Comedy Central has ordered the pilot episode for “Dwayneworld,” a faux-news/sketch TV show that would focus on social networking. It’ll star Dwayne Perkins, a comedian, and tt would include correspondents like those on The Daily Show, but with a slight twist. Only the pilot has been ordered, so it’s unknown if this will ever make it to the air.

Finally, Netflix has struck a deal with Epix to bring Paramount, MGM, and Lionsgate films to the “Instantly Watch” service. The films wont be availible until 90-days after the release to DVD and BluRay, however it’ll greatly improve Netflix’s instant streaming content, which has been mediocre at best. This deal goes into effect September 1st.
