Season overview

Task: Create a JSON object for "MTV Video Music Awards" Season 17.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown. No asterisks. No headings. No bullet points in the text (though primer is an array). Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Target: Season 17.
Source [1]: MTV Video Music Awards (1984). TV-14. Talk. 17 Episodes. Cast: Kurt Loder (Self - Preshow Host), John Norri.
Source [2]: Annual award ceremony presented by MTV to honor the best in the music video medium.
Source [3]: No relevant info for Season 17.
Source [4]: Mentions it's an annual event celebrating music videos.
Source [5]: Mentions MTV Movie Awards (different entity) and some categories, but doesn't provide specific narrative or context for Season 17 of the VMAs.
Synopsis: Radio City Music Hall, New York.
Overview: The provided materials do not contain a narrative arc for "Season 17" specifically. The sources describe the series as an annual award ceremony presented by MTV to honor the best in the music video medium. The series features 17 episodes in total according to one source. The location mentioned is Radio City Music Hall in New York. Kurt Loder is listed as the preshow host. I cannot write a 160-220 word narrative arc because no narrative arc is provided in the text. I must only use verifiable facts.
Wait, the prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary of the narrative arc. If the source doesn't have a narrative arc, I cannot invent one. However, I can describe the nature of the show. But I cannot meet the word count requirement if the facts aren't there without "inventing" or "guessing".
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If I omit everything not in the text, the overview will be very short. If I try to reach 160-220 words, I will violate the "never invent" rule.
Let's look at the facts available:
Series: MTV Video Music Awards.
Purpose: Annual
