Projects

Made with ABC Interactive

Nacht van de Popmuziek

De Nacht van de Popmuziek is an annual television show that pop music enthusiasts of all ages eagerly look forward to. Every year, the presenters discuss (live) music fragments throughout the years and viewers at home are encouraged to contribute during the broadcast by voting, sending in photos, and responding via the website.

Thanks to ABC Interactive, the audience at home influences the course of the broadcast. By involving the viewers during the broadcast, there is a strong sense of unity, contributing to de Nacht van de Popmuziek's devoted fan base!

Op zoek naar...

For 7 weeks, the television program 'Op zoek naar…' searched for two new leading actors for the musical Grease! Every week, contestants competed for the leading roles of Danny or Sandy and viewers at home could vote for their favourites.

All votes, both cast via telephone and online were processed in real-time and passed on to AVROTROS thanks to ABC Interactive in collaboration with Sound of Data. Never before has the outcome of a knockout race like this, including the final, been determined entirely by viewers at home!

Space Challenge

We introduced a new feature for ABC Interactive during Space Challenge, a fun television show that educates children about space through interactive quizzes. Responding to KRO-NCRV's request, we added an On Demand option, ensuring that kids could collect special patches both during and after the broadcast. Our triple solution enabled studio participation, home engagement through online devices, and allowed viewers to catch up at their convenience, ensuring no one missed out on the journey to Mars!

De Gouden Televizier-Ring

We’ve been handling voting for the Televizier Ring Gala for years now! AVROTROS enhances viewer participation with ABC Interactive as their trusted voting tool during the prestigious TV Awards show. Our platform enables viewers to vote for their favourite TV shows during the broadcast. Thanks to our real-time dashboard and innovative features, AVROTROS has all the necessary tools to process the votes throughout the evening and steer the show in the direction the votes lead. Moreover, we've added a special feature that captures optional demographic information: gender, age, and province, providing valuable insights into voting patterns and behaviours.

Het Grote Debat

Thanks to ABC Interactive, viewers of VTM and the HLN app were able to vote on various statements during the Big Election Debate of 2024. Because it is often considered difficult to form an opinion on overwhelming topics like politics, and political parties want to inform voters in a low-threshold way about their stance on various issues, the Belgian TV channel VTM organised the live debate involving the public at home and in the studio. The votes from the viewers and the audience were processed rapidly by our platform so that the results could be discussed immediately and the debate could be directed live during the broadcast.
