having these great television experiences through these social platforms – Sean Casey (@prana9)

Director of Partnerships & ContentGet Glue
The value of Get Glue is that it’s so focused & easy. You don’t have to know the exact Twitter handle or hashtag that people are using at the particular moment. The other thing is the reward element. Sharing is really exciting. The cool thing about Getglue is not only only are you sharing but you’re also getting a reward for sharing.
In this day and age, users crave more. They don’t want to just watch TV. They want to be a part of what they’re watching. And they want to tell people what they’re watching. We’re making that as easy as possible. So if you change the channel, we’ll go with you- no problem.

Social TV and Networks
@SherriWrites
The Networks • Cable networks are integrating social media into
programming more than traditional networks
• Networks encourage tweeting while watching. They create hashtags and place them on screen during telecasts
• Cable networks, especially Bravo and Vh1, have developed apps to enable viewers to engage efficiently while they watch
• OWN (the Oprah Winfrey Network) offers exclusive content for Facebook followers
@Bravo TV @Vh1 @OprahWinfreyNet
The Networks • Black Entertainment Television’s 106 & Park posts a daily
hash tag which often become trending topics
• WE TV’s WESync system houses most social media comments on the network’s own website
• NBC’s talent show The Voice is the first major network effort. Contestants tweeted live before and after competing
• MTV incorporated a Twitter tracker into its award show to keep up with celebrity and viewer tweets
@BET @106andPark @WeTV @NBCTheVoice @MTV @TheRealMaryMary
• Increased social media by 64% in the past three years by engaging more with audience
• Premier of Braxton Family Values on Nov. 19 is the the highest premier ever. Social media played a role
• Last season posted live tweets real-time on screen during the show and ratings jumped about 30 percent
• WeSync allows users to connect socially on its own website. It drives traffic to the network’s site by offering exclusive content, polls and videos

Leveraging stars’ brands’ & social media
• “Mary Mary” coming in March was advanced partially because of the duo’s social media engagement (Klout score, 63)
• Some shows are not moving through the development stage if they won’t garner social media buzz
• The network takes every viewer’s seriously on all social media platforms
• “Every single person’s opinion and comment is important and can go viral at any time.” Crista Scibelli Finocchio
@TheRealMaryMary @WeTV @CristaMarie28
Social media metrics and the networks• Sean Casey, founder of Social Guide, says
networks are paying more attention to social media metrics
• Social media buzz has an impact on PR, advertising and programming even down to the names of programs.
• Will launch Social Guide Intelligence in Jan. 2012. It will provide deeper analytics including key influencers.
• “We think the big value of social data is that it’s not just numbers, these are human beings who are saying things,” Sean Casey.

Social TV and Analytics
@CRContig
I know from my personal usage, whenever I turn on my TV I go directly to my app and check to see what’s trending because it
seems to be a smarter way then scrolling through the TV guide to see what’s actually
on. – Julien Greco

Social 100: Daily, Weekly and monthly reports that on a daily bases we reveal the top 10 programs, primetime shows, episodes, sports events and networks and then weekly and monthly we show publicly the top 100. We think this is really useful and a different metric system that we know networks are really interested in, and totally different data set from traditional media set. – Julien Greco

The only problem with these social programs is that their only measuring people that are actively involved in the program. It doesn’t cover people who aren’t multi-tasking.
