TORONTO, March 19, 2015 - On March 23, Big Brother Canada's third season brings its biggest premiere yet on Global TV and introduces some of the most integrated web and mobile extensions in Canadian television. Last season, the series saw 46 million total page views* on BigBrotherCanada.ca, over 1.4 million combined votes** for the season's online twists and fan votes, and over 46.5 million minutes*** of live feeds streamed. This year, registered users who log in before the March 23rd series premiere are automatically granted more power, earning 1000 bonus points making their vote three times more powerful. The Big Brother Canada digital platform, created by Emmy® award-winning interactive agency Secret Location, in partnership with Insight Productions and Shaw Media, has been lauded for its leading engagement per capita of countries where Big Brother franchises are produced.
"BigBrotherCanada.ca is a truly high-quality and cutting-edge digital platform that offers our fans one of the most fun and immersive media experiences in Canadian television," said Christine Shipton, SVP, Content, Shaw Media. "We elevated the show by putting it on Global, and are taking the online experience to new heights, giving viewers even more ways to log on, play along, and influence the show."
While season three's twists are still top secret, Canada plays an integral role in the lives of theBig Brother Canada houseguests. The more users log on to watch the show's free, 24/7 live feeds, play the eviction prediction game, and peruse endless amounts of exclusive content, the more points and influence they earn to wield in the season's online votes. Canada won't miss a moment of #BBCAN3 with complete mobile accessibility, taking full episodes and free live feeds everywhere they go and keeping real-time tabs on the houseguests' alliances, maneuvers, and plotting. Plus, this year, a special Fan Feed gives viewers camera control, allowing them to vote which room will appear on this fifth feed.
In a series first, Big Brother Canada is running a contest for fans to win a chance to enter theBig Brother Canada house this season. While in the house, and with the houseguests locked away, the lucky contest winners will compete in a custom challenge to win prizes, earning the ultimate #BBCANSuperfan bragging rights by going where no fan has gone before. In order to be eligible for the contest, fans need to play along online and earn points for entry. Fans who reach the Brass level will receive an automatic entry into the contest, and those who keep playing will receive one extra entry for each additional level they reach, up to a maximum of three entries - the more fans play, the better their odds are.
