• India’s first cross format reality show • Live 24x7 across 30days on in.com • Weekly episodic sow on MTV • Audience seamlessly moved between TV and

internet to engage with and consume the content on offer

Show Concept:

• 10 pairs of contestants were locked up in 10 rooms across 30 days, with no real communication with the outside world.

• After certain intervals of time, every room got ‘crunched’ in size, eventually making the pair live in rooms which were close to a fraction of the size they started with.

• This was broadcast on in.com ‘live’ 24x7, while MTV telecast weekend episodes of the highlights of the action.

CRUNCH

• Addressed the need for ‘convenience’ and ‘nonstop entertainment’ – Audience could engage with their favorite show at

any point of the day or night

– It was ‘Live 24x7’, thereby providing non-stop entertainment which was not the case with other reality shows on television

– It allowed the user to ‘choose’ to content that one wanted to consume

• Interactive – One could chat with contestants within the show,

something which is difficult to pull off on television

– At any single point in time a number of users could chat with the contestants simultaneously. These interactions raised the level of engagement of the audience with the show.
