Online news portal SpotboyE has partnered Facebook to launch an interactive show that will be simulcast on Bollywood music channel 9XM and Facebook.
The show kicked off on 30 September, with actor Ajay Devgn as the first celebrity.
Speaking about the show, 9X Media SVP and digital head Vibha Gosher said, “The lines between social media platforms and television are getting blurred with each passing day. Social media is not here to kill TV! It has become its best friend. Indians are watching television and are engaging online at the same time while tuning in. SpotboyE has had an amazing run of great interactions with both stars and fans on Facebook Live. SpotboyE Live is a first-of-its-kind media convergence of our engagement on social media with our television programming. Our live sessions have received an overwhelming response from Bollywood fans asking questions to their favourite stars. We are ecstatic to collaborate with Facebook to bring India’s first social-meets-TV experience to a much larger audience with SpotboyE Live on 9XM and Facebook.”
The interactive show, titled ‘Social Meets TV’, will feature interactions with renowned Bollywood stars and singers in real time.
Fans from Facebook communities of SpotboyE and 9XM can post comments for their favourite stars and singers. These comments from the live stream thread would be featured on TV.
Commenting on the partnership, Facebook India head of media partnerships Saurabh Doshi said, “SpotboyE Live is the first television show in India to integrate Facebook Live application with television and credit for providing such a unique experience to so many people who goes to SpotboyE and 9XM. This initiative also provides us with an opportunity to receive feedback from users and enhance traffic on the app.”
