At iTVbuzz.com we believe that the true voices of the television viewing public should be heard. We have created this web site to allow your voice to be heard by Television Networks and sponsors.
Here is how it works:
First, you must join our free web site (your personal information is anonymous to Networks and Sponsors). We require some specific questions to be answered on behalf of our new members, such as your date of birth, gender, zip code, ethnicity and your address. We request this information from you for promotional and statistical purposes (such as giving you a free television set, smart phones or laptops by earning points). Your private information will never be shared with anyone outside the iTVbuzz.com network. Taking these statistics will help us inform television networks and advertisers how we determine who is watching a specific program or network.
Why do networks and advertisers need to know this information about you?
Imagine your children are watching a cartoon show and the program cuts to a commercial break. Instead of showing an age-appropriate advertisement, the network broadcasts an inappropriate beer commercial by accident for example (and by the way, this has actually happened). Every parent wants to trust that the material their children are allowed to watch is appropriate -- from the show itself to the accompanying commercials.
At iTVbuzz.com, we believe you should have the opportunity to go online and indicate your reaction with the networks and advertisers. Likewise, networks and advertisers want to know the viewing interests of you and your family. Our system gives a more accurate rating of television programs because the shows are rated by you and others nationally. These ratings will also be available for you to view on our web site.
Ever wonder why your favorite television show was canceled?
Currently, networks and sponsors have very limited resources to accurately determine what people are watching and why. With iTVbuzz.com, networks and sponsors will have access to the viewing information you submit, and will be able to gauge show popularity based on your responses, as well as those of thousands of Americans.
With iTVbuzz.com, you now have a voice to tell the networks and sponsors that you are watching their show, and what interests you.
How can I make a specific comment about a show?
You can do this right now by making a comment as you vote. We display those comments on our front page and send it to a different page that is accessible by that network or any sponsor of that station.
We want to partner with the public in communicating with media content providers to help filter the pros and cons of television.
