<p style="color:#fff;">The interactive MC player, used for the first time at the 54th GRAMMYs, polls viewers about content and related interests during events</p>
<p></center></p>
<p><strong>LOS ANGELES &#8211; March 1, 2012</strong> – <a href="http://www.aegdigitalmedia.com">AEG Digital Media</a>, the leading provider of complete webcast management for live streaming events and online video, announced the release of its latest innovation, <a href="http://aegdigitalmedia.com/products/mc-social-media-polling/">the MC</a>, which vastly increases viewer engagement and ad impressions, leading to more revenue opportunities for advertisers.</p>
<p>The MC is a new viewer polling application that allows webcasters and advertisers to poll viewers about content and their related interests and preferences during an event. Questions are posed in real-time and can appear inside on-screen ads, increasing viewer engagement and interaction with the event sponsors. Like any good master of ceremonies that can think on their feet, interacting with and captivating an audience, the MC can transform a good event into a great event.</p>
<p>This year, AEG Digital Media partnered with The Recording Academy for the third consecutive year to live stream the GRAMMY Live webcast. The MC was implemented for the first time ever at the 54<sup>th</sup> GRAMMYs, which turned out to be television’s most social event—generating <a href="http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/digital-and-mobile/grammys-spawn-record-levels-of-social-tv-1006183552.story">13 million</a> social media comments. The MC was the app behind GRAMMY Live, the interactive, real-time experience that integrated second screen, social and mobile components into a three-day webcast that gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at exclusive content including GRAMMY events, parties, and red carpet interviews. GRAMMY Live attracted more viewers than ever this year, bringing in <a href="http://mashable.com/2012/02/13/grammys-social-tv-stats/">1 million</a> unique viewers across the web, iPhone and iPad.</p>
<p>“We are proud again to work with AEG Digital Media,” said Peter Anton, VP of Digital Media at The Recording Academy and executive producer of GRAMMY Live. “Their arsenal of digital media products is second to none and is helping us continually provide the expanding audience a more engaging, multi-faceted web video viewing experience.”</p>
<p>The app further enhances viewing times and increases audience interactivity as viewers answer trivia questions, participate in polls, and see interesting stats and announcements that transform fans from event spectators to participants. The MC expands on AEG Digital Media’s product suite, which combines an enhanced, multi-angle live media player and social media aggregation tool.</p>
<p>“Our product suite’s components collectively extend viewing times for live-streamed events, with consumers, webcasters and advertisers benefiting from more engaging interaction,” said John Petrocelli, vice president of sales and business development for AEG Digital Media. “Our customers have already deployed the Tremolo Player and the Hawk with impressive results, upon which MC builds. MC is the clear complement to our other products and allows us to deliver an unmatched service to our customers and advertisers.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Going down in history as television’s <a href="http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2012/120213grammysocial">most social</a> event, the 54th GRAMMYs’ viewership increased <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/story/2012-02-14/Grammys-Walking-Dead/53096642/1">50 percent</a> from the previous year, and generated a staggering <a href="http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/digital-and-mobile/grammys-spawn-record-levels-of-social-tv-1006183552.story">13 million</a> social media comments, according to Bluefin Labs, a social analytics company that tracks social media engagement related to broadcast TV.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1294" title="Q1_3-01" src="http://aegdigitalmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/Q1_3-01.jpg" alt="" width="221" height="357" /> Music’s Biggest Night produced <a href="http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2012/120213grammysocial">2,280 percent</a> more comments than last year’s mere 546,000—outdoing the most-watched, most social Super Bowl in history. The volume of mentions far surpassed any other awards show, with <a href="http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/digital-and-mobile/tactics-behind-grammys-record-social-media-1006203242.story">81,250-plus</a> per hour over a two day period.</p>
<p>The success, in large part, can be attributed to GRAMMY Live—the interactive, real-time experience that combines second screen, social and mobile components—produced by AEG Digital Media. The three-day webcast gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at exclusive content including GRAMMY events, parties, and, of course, red carpet interviews.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1285" title="Q2_2-01" src="http://aegdigitalmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/Q2_2-015.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="287" /> GRAMMY Live, which is an extension of the GRAMMY website, was also available as a second screen experience during the GRAMMY telecast, providing footage from previous shows, backstage access, post-award interviews, additional views of the crowd, and the inside scoop on nominees, presenters, and performers.</p>
<p>GRAMMY Live attracted more viewers than ever this year, bringing in <br /><a href="http://mashable.com/2012/02/13/grammys-social-tv-stats/">1 million unique</a> viewers across the web, iPhone and iPad. This is the third year AEG Digital Media has partnered with The Recording Academy for GRAMMY Live, however it is the first year of incorporating its newest product, the MC. The MC is an interactive polling application that allows viewers to answer trivia questions, participate in polls, and see interesting stats and announcements that enable fans to take part in the live event. The MC increased fan interaction as GRAMMY Live viewers guessed who would win the Awards, streamed a radio station of GRAMMY nominees, tweeted, and answered trivia questions—all in one place. Users were able to easily access past winners and current nominees and browse GRAMMY-related tweets. <a href="http://mashable.com/2012/02/04/2012-grammys-social-campaign/">Mashable</a> calls GRAMMY Live, which is optimized for the iPhone and iPad, “one of the best apps we’ve seen for an awards show.”</p>

<p>GRAMMY Live will once again leverage Akamai&#8217;s (<b><i><a href="http://www.akamai.com/" target="_blank">www.akamai.com</a></i></b>) global distribution HD network for live streaming and video on demand to power extensive live and on-demand streaming. Additionally, LiveU (<b><i><a href="http://www.liveu.tv/" target="_blank">www.liveu.tv</a></i></b>)&#160;technology will be utilized, allowing live footage to stream without being &#8220;hard-wired.&#8221; Thanks to mobile backpacks that bond&#160;wireless services together utilizing a LiveU proprietary&#160; antenna and HD-quality video transmission, spotty connectivity is overcome in low-coverage or congested areas. </p>
<p>The Recording Academy has also partnered with the most progressive online companies and leveraged the best of both open-source and proprietary technologies to deliver a cohesive, exciting and more enriching user experience for GRAMMY.com and GRAMMY.org, including Drupal (<b><i><a href="http://www.drupal.com/" target="_blank">www.drupal.com</a></i></b>), Lullabot (<b><i><a href="http://www.lullabot.com/" target="_blank">www.lullabot.com</a></i></b>), Ooyala (<b><i><a href="http://www.ooyala.com/" target="_blank">www.ooyala.com</a></i></b>), and Rackspace (<b><i><a href="http://www.rackspace.com/" target="_blank">www.rackspace.com</a></i></b>).</p>

<p>AEG Digital Media has returned for the third consecutive year to live stream the entire three days of GRAMMY Live. Using its feature-rich, multi camera angle Tremolo Player and the MC —  a new interactive polling app that allows viewers to answer trivia questions, participate in polls, and see interesting stats and announcements — online spectators will become participants as they watch their favorite performers arrive and vote for who is best dressed on Music&#8217;s Biggest Night&reg;. To complement this, The Recording Academy will utilize new partner Mass Relevance&#8217;s social curation platform to filter, moderate, and publish interactive social content into the GRAMMY Live and <a href="http://www.grammy.com">GRAMMY.com</a> experience, delivering increased social engagement.</p>
