FYI, there's a thread on this topic in the TV, Movies & Games section. I didn't see the Ars article, but I haven't gotten through my RSS feed today... https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Ah, I must have missed it when I was looking through the new posts.
No worries! I know how hard it can be to find things sometimes. :)

Tldr is that Red Eagle Entertainment (a Universal company) has owned the rights to produce a Wheel of Time based television show, and hasn't done anything with it - until now. Apparently they were set to lose these rights unless the produced something, so they rushed this "pilot" into production. It is a 30 minute show purchased in infomercial space and broadcast with no promotion for obvious reasons.
Let's hope for better if they ever do an actual production, after all this is a big series that actually has an end already written.
