CBS has announced Jingles, a new Mark Burnett-created reality series that will see contestants concocting commercial ditties for real products, will premiere Sunday, July 27 at 9PM ET/PT.

Each one-hour episode of the tentatively-titled series will follow a team of contestants who are given weekly advertisement-writing assignments before having to perform the catchy campaign they created.
The products they're pitching could include anything from food or toys to a sports' team fight song or TV show theme.
In addition to having to impress a panel of yet-to-be-announced judges and the studio audience, the contestants will also have to wow home viewers -- who will vote for their favorite following each broadcast to determine a weekly winner.
CBS ordered eight episodes of Jingles last October, and it is produced by Mark Burnett Productions. Burnett, Roy Bank, David Hurwitz and Paul Cockerill will serve as executive producers for the series.
