TORONTO – Vision TV is giving its viewers the chance to help program the network, and the opportunity to win a $1,000 shopping spree at their favourite electronics retailer to boot.
The contest, called ‘So You Wanna’ Be in TV’ kicked off Monday and will run through August 7, 2009.
In a questionnaire on the network’s website, viewers are asked in particular to choose programming for the network’s weeknight British comedy block. The top vote-getters are expected to begin airing on VisionTV as early this Fall.
"We thought this would be a fun way to engage with the loyal fans of our most popular programming block”, said president and CEO Bill Roberts in the announcement. “We want to deepen their sense of ownership by giving them a real say in our future program choices. And, of course, we value any opportunity to learn more about our viewers’ interests and preferences.”
