NEW YORK – June 6, 2012 – USA Network, the leading
network in Social TV, is transporting ROYAL PAINS fans into a
never-before-seen digital world where they can become part of the summer
Hamptons fun through engaging, exclusive video content and second
screen interaction. USA and partner Toyota will give fans original video
content, exclusive access to show talent and the chance to win the
Summer on the Set Sweepstakes. Using the new Viggle app, which rewards
viewers for watching their favorite shows, fans can dive into
never-before-seen videos with seamless social sharing capabilities
starting with the season premiere on Wednesday, June 6, 9/8c.
“USA
and Toyota are continuing their history of providing ROYAL PAINS fans
with compelling digital user experiences, and this season we are
expanding that by partnering with Viggle, one of the hottest second
screen applications,” said Alexandra Shapiro, executive vice president,
marketing & digital, USA. “Using our ‘Created With’ approach, we
bring together innovative partners to provide our passionate fanbase
with compelling digital storytelling arcs that increase their engagement
with our original programming and brand sponsors."
ROYAL PAINS
fans can join in on the fun through various media, including Viggle and
USA’s Character Chatter, the network's real-time Social TV Fan
Participation Platform. By using their computers or smart phones fans
can see behind-the-scenes video shot on location in the Hamptons, as
well as exclusive cast and producer interviews, outtakes, games and
more, presented by Toyota. Each week throughout the season, USA will
post new content – some of it from the set, which is currently shooting
new episodes for the season.
“Our partnership with USA on the
ROYAL PAINS’ digital activations enables us to give fans an experience
that complements our on-air initiatives while offering exclusive content
in an immersive and contextually relevant way,” said Dionne Colvin,
national marketing media manager, Toyota. “We believe that interacting
with consumers within both the online and mobile channels becomes an
engagement that is unique to each person and allows for multiple
touchpoints with the Toyota brand.”
Fans can access USA’s
Character Chatter at www.characterchatter.usanetwork.com to engage with
each other or talent or log-on to Viggle via their iPhone, iPad or
Android device. The ultimate prize is to win the Summer on the Set
sweepstakes, a trip to the Hamptons to tour the set of ROYAL PAINS,
potentially meet with cast members, and take home memorabilia from the
trip.
