“We look forward to amplifying the excitement of the live shows
even more by giving fans of watching The Voice on X1 a new way to
interact with the show this season,” said Daniel Spinosa, Vice
President, Entertainment Services for Comcast Cable. “We believe X1
offers customers the best in-home entertainment experience, and
this is another great example of how we are partnering with
networks to leverage the platform to create new interactive
experiences.”
“The Voice has always been a show that leverages the digital
space, and each season we continue to innovate on ways to engage
fans across platforms,” said Rob Hayes, Executive Vice President,
Digital at NBC Entertainment. “The X1 partnership, which gives
audiences a seamless interactive viewing experience, is a natural
extension of The Voice’s brand as one of the most social shows on
television.”
Xfinity X1 is currently the only partner of NBC’s The Voice to
offer a voting option on the TV. Using their X1 voice remote, fans
watching The Voice on X1 can access their on-screen ballot by
saying, “Vote for The Voice,” or by pressing the info button on the
remote. A panel on the right side of the TV screen will appear that
categorizes the artists by team, enabling users to quickly and
easily browse and vote for their favorite performers. Viewers can
cast one vote per artist on the X1 platform during the live
broadcast and up until one hour after its conclusion.
Comcast collaborates with programmers, studios and digital
networks to continue to evolve and expand entertainment experiences
on the TV and across devices. These partnerships leverage X1’s
industry-leading technology and voice remote to create
one-of-a-kind experiences for customers around popular programming
and events including the Olympics, fantasy football, and feature
films. They also enable content partners to explore new ways
to go to market with their programming and to introduce fresh,
interactive experiences to new and existing viewers.
