was A LOT. Please interrupt me if there’s something you want to say about any of these things.

BET launches an iPhone app for 106 & Park.
The show is a video request show, like MTV’s Total Request Live
app:
- vote for videos, but you have to plat a game scratching a turntable on your phone, which determines how many votes you get
- scan QR codes on your TV during the show, which shows you bonus content about the current video
- hosts call out a hashtag on-air, and there’s a great “twitter wall” in the app, along with a heat-map based on location
- the hosts have access to the heatmap on-air - they can zoom-in on a user and their phone will ring, connecting them right to
the studio: “Fame lottery” which gives good reason to use the app while watching
Spent one year building it, and had hosts promoting it on air for30-60 miutes every day for a week during the launch.

The Voice music competition show premiered on NBC, with really heavy on-air tweeting. All the hosts tweeted live, responding to
viewers and providing commentary on the competition.
The Official account kept pace and retweeted things for later timezones.
NBC won the night in the 18-49 demographic with a 5.1 rating. “It was NBC’s strongest series premiere since 2009′s The Jay
Leno Show’s 5.3 ...”explains TVbytheNumbers. The show also ranked #1 in both Trendrr and SocialGuide‘s rankings of the most
social shows on Tuesday.

Time Warner & Cablevision launch streaming to iPad for their subscribers: TWC with a few dozen channels, Cablevision with their
entire lineup
Some content providers demand TWC pull their channels, which they do...and then TWC takes Viacom to court, saying they have
the right to push video to any screen in the house.
Time Warner compared the whiners to a group of people trying to fight the current of a river with "feeble karate."
