SNAP Interactivity Highlights - 6:30
A breakthrough in interactive TV: live Internet video, a live satellite feed, and live viewer call-ins integrated into a nationally broadcast, professional-quality live television program.<P>
SNAP is a series of interactive television specials for people aged 16 to 22. Youth-oriented programs, including short animations and international music videos, are interspersed with live conversations among viewers, hosts, callers and a 'virtual audience' of webcammers. The program solicits young viewers to participate in discussions on issues that matter in their lives -- inviting them to connect using whatever device they want -- email, cell phone, telephone, and web-cam. Two "chat jockeys" sit at the nexus of a connection machine in the live TV studio. Each day special guests are invited to add their personal experiences to the mix.
SNAP is designed to expose its Generation Y viewers to new ways of thinking and to help bridge the gap between themselves and their peers worldwide by using the medium of the media. It shows young adults and teens how people their age are making a difference in their lives and communities, giving them a venue to share their thoughts and connect on the air and on the web, in an open and uncensored manner. SNAP has covered the following topics with more in production:
Youth Culture
Materialism & Activism
Family
SNAP is also the home of Chat The Planet -- a two-way television show linking people across the globe.
