Social7, hosted by KIRO TV’s Jenni Hogan, has already gotten its name and even determined its timeslot based upon the votes of fans and followers, and the show’s content is going to be based on whatever happens to be trending when the show goes live tonight.

KIRO News Director Todd Mokhtari told Cory Bergman of Lost Remote about audience involvement in the show.
