nFusz to Debut the World's First Interactive Online Talent
Competition Show
Viewers Will Be Able Cast Votes In Real-Time While
Watching The Pay-Per-View Series Event
HOLLYWOOD, CA--(NewMediaWire - Aug 14, 2017)
- nFusz, Inc. (OTCQB: FUSZ),
the Hollywood-based digital technology company, has today announced
the first commercial application of its notifiLIVE and notifiTV
interactive broadcast and streaming video technology. On September
29, 2017, the Company will present "WHO'S GOT BARS - LA", an
original interactive pay-per-view series, featuring 12 of Los
Angeles' hottest young free-style rappers going head-to-head in a
bracket-style elimination competition, with a winner-take-all
finale in the Final of 5 scheduled episodes for a cash prize and
recording sessions with world renowned Hip Hop producers. The lucky
winner will go on to face the winner of "WHO'S GOT BARS - NYC" and
the winners of follow-on competitions featuring the hottest young
rappers from Atlanta, Chicago, Miami and other cities, soon to be
announced. A "WHO'S GOT BARS - LONDON" is planned to face the
overall winner of the U. S. competition.
What makes this competition notable is that it is the world's
first online show in which fans will be able to vote in real time
by clicking on the screen while watching their favorite artists
perform. All of this is made possible using nFusz's groundbreaking
interactive video technology. The show can be viewed with full
interactive capabilities on virtually any mobile device or
computer, including browser-based smart TV's, and no software
download is required.
Between rounds, the shows will feature up-and-coming local
models as 'Round Card Girls' who will also compete against one
another for viewers' votes. The Company is currently in
negotiations with popular music industry celebrities who will
appear in various roles on the shows, such as color commentary,
on-screen mentors, coaches, and even hosts.
In another world's first, sponsors of the show will actually be
able to sell merchandise to viewers and complete e-commerce
transactions during the show right in and through the video using
the nFusz notifi technology. Interested sponsors should contact the
Company at info@nFusz.com.
The Company is hoping to capture many of the contestants' own
10,000,000 + social media followers, each of whom will pay just
$0.99 per episode for the privilege of voting and selecting the
winners. Each episode will be posted on YouTube after the winners
are announced as part of the on-going promotion of the next
episodes.
"What better way to showcase the future of interactive video
programming than to provide an opportunity for young deserving
artists to be discovered," states Rory J. Cutaia, nFusz CEO.
"During the auditions for the show, I found myself mesmerized at
the level of talent many of these young people possess. This is not
going to be anything like the talent competitions you're used to
seeing on network TV. This is going to be real, raw, uncensored,
and will engage the at-home viewer in ways no program has ever done
before," continues Mr. Cutaia.
