What pilot program are you referring to? Weekly options have been available for a long time now. I'm sure IB offers them as well (I don't use IB), you probably just don't know how to get to them or cannot see them.
IB offers the weekly options ...... I use IB's WebTrader, just enter strike and they will come up. Keep in mind that there are no weeklies during expiry of the regular options so nothing will show up at this time. Weeklies are issued on Thursday.
This Thursday - August 19 - the Aug 27 weeklies start selling.
