ON’s shows were selected from more than
10,000 Webby Award entries. Stump the Chef and Sheltered are
one of only five finalists in each category.
“We’re honored to
have the Webby Awards recognize five of ON’s
Original Programs out of the large number of entries they received,”
says Jen Grogono, chief content officer at ON. “These
shows were created by innovative individuals who were able to tap into
consumer passions through five totally unique formats.”
Stump the Chef: One award-winning chef faces down three
random ingredients and three tough judges in this punchy cooking-game
show that’s part Price is Right and
part Iron Chef.
Sheltered: Only three to four million dogs and cats in
animal shelters ever get to be anyone's pet. Instead, many are
euthanized, because there are not enough homes for them all to be
adopted. Sheltered gives these animals a voice and, in turn,
hopes for a different kind of outcome.
Dinner with the Band: A mash-up of cuisine and indie
music, hosted by NYC chef Sam Mason who invites up and coming bands to
share an intimate evening of cooking, conversation and performance.
Golf Tips with Joe Beck: A virtual driving range, seasoned
PGS pro Joe Beck offers golf enthusiasts expert advice on improving
their game.
The Parent Code: Parents of tots to teens get tips and
information on how to save time and money and keep their family safe,
healthy and happy.
