Scripting the Best Predictions for Scripted TV

"With Miso SideShows, we’re creating a place for fans to comment with their shows tagged to the exact moment of what they want to talk about. No more spoilers, no more lost discussions. [...]

 

One of the things we expected is that fans would love the opportunity to predict what comes next – no longer would they reduce themselves to shouting at their TV set. Most of the time, we were proved right: fans loved voting on possible future outcomes and sharing their opinions about them. There are times, though, where prompts for predictions went eerily quiet. What caused the disparity in fan engagement between one prediction card and another? We’ve dove into SideShows created for serial dramas to see what makes fans want to lean forward and interact with scripted TV."

» Study examines how viewers engage with social TV

"When Viacom Media Networks asked people about “social TV” in a new study, the most common responses involved the words “interactive,” “friends” and “Facebook “or “Twitter.” It was part of a research project to understand social TV through the eyes of the viewer. “One of the main goals of this research was to understand how to inspire social TV activity among our audiences,” said Colleen Fahey Rush, who headed up the study. It found the top three social TV activities can be boiled down to communicating, consuming content and checking comments"

Nielsen Reports a Decline in Television Viewing

"To the astonishment of some in the industry, total TV viewing has been on the rise in the U.S. for years, despite a plethora of other entertainment options. But new Nielsen data, also released on Thursday, showed an unusual dip in TV viewing in the last three months of 2011. At the same time, some people are spending more time playing video games and watching Web video — though TV still retains the lion’s share of people’s free time".

A Socially Engaged Audience Is Networks' Best Marketing Team | MediaWorks - Advertising Age

"A socially engaged TV audience is the most powerful marketing team networks have ever had," says Mr. Ghuneim. "And social TV gives us the opportunity to understand and leverage an audience's emotional attachment to a show, because TV is no longer a one-sided experience. Finally all our shouting at the TV can actually be heard. Brands that are smart enough to listen and leverage that emotional response can unlock valuable attention from an audience that actually cares."

Twitter UK boss says social TV happens whether broadcasters like it or not

"Twitter's UK general manager Tony Wang expects broadcasters to start using the microblogging service in more "artful" ways beyond showing hashtags and account handles on-air.

'Broadcasters are not the ones to choose whether to have social TV. It happens whether they like it or not. But they have a choice about how to harness that social TV energy,' he told the MIPCube conference in Cannes.

Wang cited stats showing that 80% of under-25s are using a second screen to communicate with friends while watching TV, while 72% of them are using Twitter, Facebook and other mobile apps to comment on the shows they watch."

The Big Problem with the Second Screen - Forbes

"[...] But there is one big problem that no one is discussing. What the second screen really represents for consumers is a way to spend time doing something other than watching TV commercials. The more screens we have on hand, the more likely it is that we will find a way to tune out during the breaks in our favorite shows. It’s a simple but scary dynamic – commercials start and we grab our devices. [...]

The bottom line is that the more we drive consumers to the second screen, the harder it will be to monetize their time and attention".

"Connected TV World Summit, held 2.-3.5.2012 in London, discussed the potentials and development of the Connected TV and how it is forming new ways to engage and attract the audience.
Connected TV is understood to mean the way the TV is connected to the Internet and the user can retain content from the Internet. The concept is developing towards a hybrid model where it contains combination of linear broadcasting service and non-linear streaming service over the Internet. A Connected TV set is capable to receive content via both channels"
