RED Mike par khul ke batao, sab ko sunao!

RED Mike at your doorsteps from the 11th to 19th December

 

Red FM, the station for expression, is taking interactivity to the next level in 11 cities across the country. Red FM's award winning property Red Mike is being extended to the cities of Ahmedabad, Baroda, Kanpur, Jaipur, Indore, Lucknow, Bhopal, Guwahati, Bhubaneshwar, Pune and Nagpur. Citizens in these cities will find the Red Mike on the airwaves and at their doorsteps encouraging and coaxing them to speak up.

 

Through the Red Mike, Red FM empowers listeners to decide on-air content every day. Listeners get to participate actively and express what is important to them, as citizens and as individuals. The 11 cities had been a part of an extensive field survey that Nielsen had conducted for Red FM. The research provided a lot of interesting insights into the mind of the average radio listener in these markets.

 

Commenting on this campaign, Nisha Narayanan, Sr VP Projects and Programming RED FM said, "RED FM is known for its Bajaate Raho attitude nationally. We have firmly established ourselves as the 'station for expression' and the Red Mike boosts listener interactivity and capitalizes on the strength of radio as a medium. The programming changes we had introduced in the 11 markets following the field research conducted by Nielsen have been received positively across markets. Already, the IRS Round 3 results makes Red FM the fastest growing radio network in the country.

 

One interesting observation that emerged from the Nielsen survey across markets was that the expectations audiences have from media have changed over the years. Audiences don't want to be passive recipients anymore. They want to contribute, be heard and feel empowered. Red Mike taps into this need of the audiences by providing them with a platform."

 

The campaign which was launched on the 6th of December will be on air for three weeks and will be spearheaded by the RJs locally.Red FM Bhopal's RJ Anandi, who hosts the breakfast show Morning No.1 (Mon-Sat 7am-11am), will guide the Red Mike campaign and encourage people to call up on the studio lines and have their opinions heard. The best bytes from each day will be played on the station the next day.

 

The on air campaign will be supported by an extensive marketing campaign in all 11 markets. Hoardings at prime locations will educate citizens about the Red Mike. In Bhopal, a branded canter, with the symbolic Red Mike, will be doing the rounds of the city from 11th to 19th December. The Red Mike Jockey, who'll be on board, will encourage bystanders into speaking their minds. During the course of the 10 day on ground activation, the Red Mike will visit housing societies, shopping areas, college hangouts, traffic junctions etc.

The Walking Dead" – highest rated cable show, ever

In real life probably no one believes that so called zombies actually exist, but when it's about entertainment, these creatures totally arrest attention whether is about zombie games, movie adaptations, zombie comics, or Halloween's masks.  Last occurrence that would support this fact is the American TV series called "The walking dead", whose first season has ended last week, and received the highest ratings of any basic cable show, ever.

 

This show had its premiere on the AMC network on October 31, 2010 with a 70-minute premiere episode and now AMC and the producers are probably regretting because it lasted for only six weeks.  The point is that the average number of viewers of this series was 3,5 millions and the anticipation for the season finale garnered six million viewers, according to the network.  With this it received the highest ratings of any basic cable show, ever, but it's also important that the series was watched from the all-important 18-49 demographic.  The last episode of "Hannah Montana" had 10.7 million viewers but its audience is under 18 years old, some final episodes of "The Sopranos" had around 13 million viewers but according to all parameters, "Walking dead" is the most watched drama series in basic cable history in the demographic. 

 

"The Walking Dead" is based on the comic book series with the same name, made by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard,and published by Image Comics.  It was developed for television by Frank Darabont and the main cast includes Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal and Sarah Wayne Callies.

 

It's about post – apocalyptic horror story that follows a small group of survivors.  They travel across the desolate United States, searching for a new home, trying to escape from the shuffling hordes of the undead.  The main character, Rick Grimes, who was a sheriff's deputy before the zombie attack, leads this group that faces incredible things.  From one side are the zombies but on the other side here are the scattered remains of a struggling human populace.  All the adventures and the fight to survive push them to the very edge of sanity.  Besides the adventure there is a strong human drama, processing deep interpersonal relationships, that puts the show into more of a psychological thriller genre than an action adventure.  There are some explicit scenes full with blood and killing, but for the most part the show is less about the zombies seeking brains and more about the characters and their inner battles, fighting with the possibility that they may be the last few people on Earth.

 

The only doubtful thing is that the first season ended so unfinished, leaving many unanswered questions, and the funs must wait till next Halloween to see the new season…
