OWN HEADS TO LOVETOWN, USA  KINGSLAND GEORGIA    Media Update For Week of January 24, 2012   Kingsland, Georgia has been selected by the Oprah Winfrey Network as the setting for a new original series to premiere later this year, Lovetown, USA.   After a nationwide search, OWN and BBC Worldwide Productions have selected Kingsland, Georgia to be transformed into "Lovetown, USA."  Two expert matchmakers including the real-life "Hitch," Paul Carrick Brunson, and Kailen Rosenberg, with over 200 successful marriages to her name and hailed as a true "love whisperer," will take over Kingsland for 30 days helping eight singles embark on a journey to find true love in their own backyard.  From the local mayor to restaurateurs, bosses and even married couples, everyone in the town will be involved.  This one-of-a-kind social experiment is the biggest dating challenge in TV history; examining the effects love can have on the DNA of one American community. The show is produced by BBC Worldwide Productions for OWN. Bruce Toms is executive producer. Izzie Pick Ashcroft, Rob Bagshaw and Jane Tranter are executive producers for BBC Worldwide Productions. Charlie Debevoise and Mark Hickman are executive producers for NorthSouth Productions.   The new series, scheduled to premiere this summer, will film 8 episodes in Kingsland over a four week period beginning in mid-February.   Read more: http://www.oprah.com/own/Lovetown-USA-About-the-Show#ixzz1jdv28VAv   Happening This Week:   Lovetown Execs seeking your input & suggestions: Have an idea for making the Lovetown USA series amazing??
