How Much do the social networks pay per minute for scripted content?

From www.unitedhollywood.com:


WSJ today gives overview of social networking sites getting into business of producing online video. Article features three shows:
-
Kate Modern, a mystery on social networking site Bebo.- Roommates, a soap opera on MySpace TV- Special Delivery, a hidden camera reality show on MySpace TV.
It notes that while MySpace and Bebo push into original content, Facebook hasn't and other internet companies - AOL and Yahoo, specifically - are backing away from it.
Article doesn't disclose budget for KATE MODERN but says Bebo sells sponsorships at $400,000 for six months.
Claims production budgets for Roommates and Special Delivery are about $1000 per minute.


$1,000 dollars per minute for ROOMMATES? Well, I guess the girls are sorta hot.
