The document discusses how second screen applications on mobile devices can engage TV viewers and increase ratings. It notes that 80% of people are online and watching TV simultaneously. Second screen apps aim to redirect viewers' attention back to the TV program rather than distractions like social media. Case studies show that additional content, games, quizzes and audience participation features in second screen apps help boost engagement and retention. The future of second screen includes using app interactions for advertising, tracking show ratings, and increasing monetization opportunities for broadcasters.
