New 'Make A Star' Web-to-TV Show to Debut December 6th on FUSE
Show will feature eight artists and bands who submitted their original songs via the online site.
Orange, CA (PRWEB) -- The world's first Web-to-TV talent show, "Make A
Star," officially debuts Saturday, December 6th at 10:30 a.m. ET/PT on
FUSE.
"Make A Star marks the beginning of a new era in entertainment,
where the Internet and television are no longer separate, but linked,"
said Dr. Iman Foroutan, Chairman and CEO of Equal Chance Productions
and Contest Factory, which created and developed the show. Dr. Foroutan
and Contest Factory also own the patent to the online contest process.
"This new show marks a major advancement in interactive entertainment
and points to a new direction for the industry, when user-generated
content will become an ever increasing part of television."
The first Make A Star show to air on FUSE will feature eight artists
and bands from around the country - including New Jersey, Florida,
Michigan, Ohio, California and Maryland - who submitted their original
songs via the online site.
The show is also launching a special "Holiday Carol" a capella contest
that will air on December 13th, with the winner to claim a $1,000 cash
prize.
Make A Star will run for 13 weeks on FUSE and is dramatically different
from other reality contestant shows, like American Idol and So You
Think You Can Dance. Dubbed the "equal chance show," Make A Star uses a
patented online process, making it easier for more people around the
world to participate in the competition by simply uploading a video of
their performance, rather than having to travel to far away cities to
audition. The show also isn't limited to young contestants. Anyone who
is over 16 years old may participate.
About Make A Star:
"Make A Star" is a division of Contest Factory, which has been
developing integrated product promotion, market research and game
applications in the form of online contests for businesses, interactive
television and wireless devices since 2001.
MakeAStar.com was first launched in 2001 as the first online music
competition platform using a bracketed tournament format. The Make A
Star TV show, which is created and produced by Equal Chance
Productions, is a new music talent show and the first-ever Web-to-TV
program. Dubbing itself the "equal chance show," it has modernized the
submission and voting process by allowing contestants to upload their
videos to a Web site, rather than requiring them to travel long
distances to make personal auditions. The show's debut air date is
December 6, 2008 on FUSE. It is created, developed and produced by
Equal Chance Productions in association with Contest Factory. Web site:
