SMSGH SMS TO TV SERVICE
The intimate nature of television with its viewers demands that a direct communication channel be available to boost this relationship. SMS provides this medium of interaction whilst simultaneously generating revenue for the station and increase viewer base.
TV programs and cable channels are adding SMS chat to their content. Viewers send text messages to the station's SMS number and almost instantly, the messages appear on the TV screen. This is a great way to get viewers involved in live programs and by charging for the incoming SMS messages, you can profit from this service as well.
SMS text messaging programs are especially popular with young people. What do they talk about? What ever is on their mind, from music to fashion to their relationships and even school work. If it's a music video program, the chat focuses around the music and musicians. On pure chat channels, just about anything will come up -- which is why even non-callers watch.
Our sms-tv software platform provides an extensive set of features that the tv operator can use to generate higher interaction with its viewers. It is ideal for talk shows, news and sports transmission, contests, youth oriented programs, reality shows and requests for programs.
SMS chat is here to stay. Its use and popularity will only get bigger, especially among the youth. 18-24 year olds are especially big on chats. In Ghana youths age 25 and younger spend 5 times as much on mobile phones, calling and texting (GH¢ 500/yr).
(For security and corporate image protection, our Interactive Messaging system has a number of features to keep inappropriate content off of TV. These include automatic deletion of messages containing banned words, as well as the ability for a live moderator to queue and select only desired messages.)
