Auckland Daze hits the number one spot on TVNZ Ondemand
Since its online launch last week, Auckland Daze has become the most watched show on TVNZ Ondemand. With 14,264 stream views to date for the first episode, Auckland Daze’s premiere is now the highest ranking show on TVNZ Ondemand, ahead of Friday’s Shortland Street, which achieved 13,179 stream views over the same period.
Auckland Daze follows the success of TVNZ's Emmy Award-winning digital-only series Reservoir Hill. The new series is a spoof comedy that follows four hapless wannabes; a model, a stuntman, a dwarf entertainer and a stand-up comedian, who are all chasing fame in Auckland's ridiculously small entertainment industry.
Auckland Daze takes the interactive experience that made Reservoir Hill a success to the next level. The show screens on TVNZ Ondemand and is also embedded into Facebook allowing viewers to watch, 'like' and share the episodes with their friends without having to leave their Facebook profile.
After each episode, the audience is prompted to say what they think. Filmed weekly, suggestions from viewers influence the next episode. The second episode of Auckland Daze will be available to view from 5pm tonight and features a viewer contributed pick up line for Millen. This second episode also guest stars Craig Parker.
With a growing Facebook fanbase and fan interaction rates running well above average, viewers are enjoying the chance to interact with and influence the show.
"In just one week, the success of Auckland Daze has demonstrated the growth in the digital audience's appetite for high quality online video and interactive experiences. We are enjoying the positive viewer feedback and seeing that people appreciate the show's humour as much as we do," says Tom Cotter, TVNZ's GM Digital Media.
