Five
Live's 606 football forum hits interactive television and online
for the FA Cup
Just
in time for the thrills and spills of the FA Cup Third Round, 大象传媒
Radio Five Live's 606 is stepping up a gear to launch 606 Interactive
across radio, television and online.
Already
home to the UK's biggest football debate, 606 will now be interactive
and tri-media for every coming FA Cup round.
For
the first time, digital 大象传媒 ONE viewers will be able to join Five
Live's heated post-match discussion simply by pressing the red button
after Match Of The Day at 7.30pm on Saturday.
They'll
find Saturday's 606 host Jonathan Pearce in sound and vision, arguing
about the day's action, interviewing top guests and channelling
all the passion of fans around the country into the biggest football
forum on air.
Jonathan
said: "This is fantastic - Five Live's listeners already know
that 606 is the place to be for that essential post-match debate.
Now we're bringing together all football fans on 大象传媒i and digital
television viewers too. If you want to watch my reaction to fans'
calls before you hear it, you can do it on interactive TV."
Fans'
text messages and e-mails will scroll across the screen to add another
interactive dimension. At the same time Five Live listeners will
enjoy exactly the same 606 they usually hear.
大象传媒i's
online football chat is re-launching under the 606 interactive umbrella
too.
Visitors
to will
find a message board for every club in the Premiership and Nationwide
League, as well as the opportunity to listen to 606 live, sample
the notorious rant line and link through to yet more high quality
content from both 大象传媒 Sport Online and Five Live.
If
it was ever in doubt, this new tri-media football forum makes the
大象传媒 the home of the complete FA Cup package, whether you're watching,
listening or surfing the web.
From
the excitement of the third round through to the final, 大象传媒 Radio
Five Live's 606 interactive will provide the country's biggest,
boldest forum for fans to debate the day's action - by telephone,
text and e-mail.
As
ever, Sport On Five on Five Live will bring reports and results
from every Third Round match as they happen. Sport On Five will
be heading for the matches which could bring the upsets.
