''Text Me TV'' was a television program based out of Lansing, Michigan, produced at the Lansing affiliate for The CW, WLAJ-DT2. It consisted of one or two people onscreen who read and reacted to mobile phone text messages sent in by viewers and seen in real time on-screen. The onscreen personalities were usually accompanied by an off-screen producer, who engaged with those onscreen in conversation about a variety of topics. The program aired at 1:30 to 4:30am Monday-Friday and 2 to 4:30am Saturday-Sunday in the Lansing and West Michigan areas, eventually expanding to parts of Maryland, Delaware, Louisiana, and Indiana, and also streamed live on the web via their official website. The show was created by Torkel Bergstøl at Active Loop Television in Norway as Sticky TV, and adapted for a US audience by James Ford Robinson, in partnership with WLAJ in Lansing. The hosts were all local college talent. On November 5, 2008, after 622 shows and 1,972 total on-air hours, the show was cancelled, leaving hosts, fans, and texters in the dark as to why the show was so abruptly cancelled. An e-mail by one of the loyal texters of the show sent to the Oslo, Norway, production company asked about the cancellation. The response was that the company and its partner were still working on ways to bring the show back and that it could return in the near future with a more stable financial partner. WLAJ's General Manager echoed this sentiment, saying, "I would love to continue to run the show if the Text Me TV folks want to get back into it."
