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 voted for their favourites. Never before has the outcome of a knockout race like this, including the final, been determined entirely by viewers at home!

Thanks to PlayNow!, people were able to vote online which resulted in Tristan and Danique winning the contest with an overwhelming number of votes. Thanks to the collaboration with Sound of Data, all votes cast via telephone and online were processed in real-time and passed on to AVROTROS.

The greatest thing about helping customers build their digital presence from scratch is watching them grow and evolve! KINK is one of those customers with whom we have formed a committed partnership. As they continue to grow, Angry Bytes has developed a number of interesting new features for both the website and native apps in recent months.

Since October listeners are able to subscribe to their favourite podcasts in the KINK app. As soon as a new episode of the podcast is released, all subscribers will be notified. The same goes when a DJ replies to a direct message from the listener. As soon as the message is delivered to the user, a notification pops up - a simple but effective way to boost engagement!

We also developed a new app on our successful ABC Manager line-up that benefits both KINK and their listeners! ABC Research enables KINK to question their listeners about the music KINK is all about. Snippets of current and new tracks are offered to a selected group of listeners, who are invited to rate the artist and song. A selection of optional questions can be added to give KINK more insight into the musical preferences of their target group. ABC Research is a complete tool that enables KINK to not only compose and select their participants for a particular survey but also provides useful insights and recommendations for their music scheduling.

For the listeners, on the other hand, this tool improves the overall radio experience while also providing personal benefits for the listeners who have participated. For example: when someone has indicated that they like a certain band, they will also be the first to be informed if this band comes to the Netherlands, or if there is a relevant giveaway that fits the listener's preferences.

On Saturday, November 12th it was time for the popular annual tv music night: Nacht van de Popmuziek (Night of the Pop Music)! During this interactive TV marathon, Matthijs van Nieuwkerk and Leo Blokhuis present and discuss live pop music videos throughout the years, sharing favourites of the audience at home during the evening.

Just like in previous years, we have provided Nacht van de Popmuziek with solutions to ensure great interactivity! We have integrated several new solutions to make the editors' job to process and share submitted photos easier. Thanks to the ability to share photos and send in requests, vote for favourites and more interactive possibilities, Night of the Pop Music can be named one of the most interactive tv programs each year!

From Saturday, November 5th youth channel Zapp will broadcast a fun new children's television program: Space Challenge! Astronaut André Kuipers takes presenter Klaas van Kruistum and the viewers on a special journey through space with planet Mars as the final destination.

The interactive program teaches children about space travel in a playful way and tests astronaut knowledge through a quiz. This allows aspiring astronauts to collect patches during all 7 episodes.

PlayNow! has been used to support interaction during Space Challenge in three different ways: during the recordings the audience participated live and the best player won a patch, the audience at home can also play along during the broadcasts and the third way is new for PlayNow!, it is now possible to participate even after the show! PlayNow! On Demand is the latest addition to Play Now! and makes it possible to watch and interact on mobile phone, tablet or PC. This allows children to still obtain a patch. With PlayNow! On Demand it is possible to watch, learn and play along with Space Challenge at any place and at any time. Whether on the couch, in the car or at school.

Space Challenge is broadcast every Saturday evening at 19:20 on Zapp/NPO3.

Like in previous years, we provided the second screen voting tool for AVROTROS during the 57th edition of the Gouden Televizier-Ring Gala. Each year during the gala a winner is chosen to take home the Gouden Televizier-Ring, the most prestigious prize in the Dutch television world.

Thanks to PlayNow!, viewers at home were able to cast their vote for one of three television shows during AVROTROS’ live show. Using our in-house developed Playnow! platform, we made sure all second-screen votes were validated, merged and processed in real time, making it possible to give the audience live updates on the voting results during the show. We included the option to allow sharing of real-time voting activity all over The Netherlands, enabling live updates on votes coming in including where they came from through the ‘Voting Sonar’!

The winner of the Gouden Televizier-Ring this year is the satirical program 'Even Tot Hier', the program won with an overwhelming 70% of the votes!
