our station"

“Hipcricket plays a key role in teaching our sales people"

 

Tim Howick, New Media Director, KNBC Los Angeles

"The Hipcricket Interaction Planner proved to be a valuable tool for our viewers in delivering breaking news updates for the wildfires that were burning here in Southern California. The platform was responsive, flexible and immediately customizable - so we could be on the air with new text alerts as the breaking news happens."


 

Solution

KNBC and Hipcricket teamed to create the first mobile and Web interactivity TV program which aired after Sunday Night Football.

It is called KNBC’s The Challenge, hosted by Fred Roggin.

To be eligible for prizes, viewers were required to log on and enter their names, a username, a password, gender, age, and email address or mobile number. They were then exposed to a series of questions on the show. The faster they answered correctly via web or mobile, the more points they received and the more likely they were to win prizes.

Results

KNBC’s The Challenge has interacted with 76,323 unique viewers for its first three seasons.
