Current Situation
Live production interactive and social services are currently used on occasion as a one-way broadcast integrated with graphic systems for viewer display. Engagement and feedback are through the internet. Broadcasters monitor social feeds for curation and decisioning for what goes to air.

Technology Deployed
Cloud-based interactive polling and gaming, social engagement tools, personalized group video, audio, data, and chat for social and/or fan and fantasy gaming gatherings with friends, data service feeds for immediate details on news, sports, or other events as being viewed or personalized preferences such as stock tickers; ecommerce shopping experience while viewing programming
Use Case Summary
