Networked Insights has just released a new report on "the most anticipated new TV shows based on viewer conversation across the social web." The report looks at the most anticipated shows from the five major broadcasters (CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, CW) and describes why they're making predictions about certain shows. Networked Insights said that "this year's analysis was more challenging due to factors indicative of an evolving marketplace" and that "overall, the conversations were less polarizing because the new programs were either modeled after successful shows or had benefited from a halo effect of a well-known showrunner." Here are their findings.
The long-running CBS show Big Brother asked viewers to engage in a Twitter vote that influenced the live show's outcome, which Twitter said is a first for primetime reality television. During last Thursday's episode, fans voted with the hashtags #bbReward or #bbPunish to reward or punish the eliminated Houseguest who dropped out of the episode's "Head of Household" competition. Twitter said 64K votes were cast, and #bbPunish won the day.
We're halfway through August, which means that the summer's end is near. Fall TV season is slowly but surely kicking into high gear, and even though it's not even Labor Day, networks are using social to begin to tease and build buzz for their new shows. Lost Remote has learned exclusively that CBS.com has launched their new "Fall Previews Hub" with some brand new social features.
One of the original reality shows, Big Brother is coming back for its 14th season this Thursday night. To accompany the show's return, CBS is rolling out a variety of social TV products starting with "Big Brother Connect," a second screen experience on CBS.com. This is one of the first shows to use the CBS Connect platform (a story we broke two months ago) which brings together the social activity around CBS shows, enables hashtag voting and gives fans the opportunity to see their tweets appear on TV during Thursday's live shows...
A major TV development deal has been announced where CBS has won a bidding war to develop Zynga's newly acquired "Draw Something" into an interactive game show. Variety is reporting that the show will be produced by by Sony Pictures Television, Ryan Seacrest Productions, and Embassy Row. Beyond just taking this popular social game and turning it into a game show, viewers are going to be able to interact with the celebrities on the show by playing along with them at home.
If you thought the conclusion of the 2011-2012 TV season would mean a lack of social TV news, the space isn't slowing down a bit. Now that summer shows are beginning and much of primetime TV is coming to a conclusion until the fall, TV brands are looking for a way to keep their fans entertained and engaged. A new trend has emerged around fan-focused awards shows.
Social TV continues to mature and become the main web strategy for major TV networks. CBS.com has just launched CBS Connect, "a new social hub connecting fans with each other and CBS stars." The site will be a single destination where they will aggregate content from Twitter and Facebook across all of CBS' programming....
