大象传媒 THREE trials pioneering multi-screen application



大象传媒 THREE viewers will have the opportunity to become their own schedulers on Sunday nights in a pioneering trial starting on 1 May 2005.

From 9.00pm on Sunday nights, digital satellite viewers will be prompted to press the red button and offered the choice of three of their favourite 大象传媒 THREE programmes, in addition to the channel's live transmission.

The programmes will be categorised under Dramatic, Funny and Real.

On a sample Sunday evening content available could range from Nighty Night and Bodies to Little Angels.

Stuart Murphy, Controller of 大象传媒 THREE, says: "The 'Best of Three' multi-screen trial is a bold and ground-breaking new application which offers viewers more control and greater access to the wide range of programmes on 大象传媒 THREE.

"In the future we believe viewers will want to watch their favourite show when they want it and not wait until a scheduler decides to transmit it.

"It's a key stepping-stone to true video on demand in a free-to-air digital environment, and shows that we are serious about 大象传媒 THREE being the country's most innovative digital channel, which evolves as fast as the audience's tastes and needs."

Emma Somerville, the 大象传媒's Head of Interactive Programming, says: "Interactive TV can really help our audiences engage with the 大象传媒's TV channels.

"The 'Best of Three' multi-screen will test new ways of giving viewers more flexibility over when and how they want to enjoy our programmes."

Viewers will be encouraged on air to try out the new service and the trial will last for six months.

It is hoped that the service will help to explain the multi-genre offering of 大象传媒 THREE content to audiences and enable them to get more value from the full range of programmes that the channel broadcasts.

It will be designed to encourage them to sample programming they may not have engaged with before and to give them another opportunity to watch programmes that they might have missed.

Notes to Editors

The 大象传媒 plans to offer this application on Freeview and digital cable if the trial is a success.

On its first night on Sunday 1 May, 大象传媒 THREE's 'Best Of Three' multi-screen application will offer viewers the first and second episodes of Nighty Night; the first and second episodes of the second series of Twisted Tales; and the first and second parts of the second series of Little Angels.
