Heros is an Interactive TV Emmy Finalist!

I have been a Heros fan since the debut episode and pride myself on noticing (not hearing about) the business card displaying the phone number for Primatech Paper (fans of the show will know what that is). I called the number, inspected the website, went down the rabbit hole and now, I am involved in a dialogue via email and SMS with some of the shows underground characters. Although the show took the typical summer break, it has kept me engaged with these characters, blogs, emails and texts. It is no surprise that the show has been nominated for an Interactive TV Emmy along with four other well designed programs.

The finalists for the Award for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Television Programming are:

  • Heroes Interactive (NBC Universal)
  • DirecTV Interactive Sports
  • The Jericho Experience (CBS)
  • The Fallen Alternative Reality Game (Xenophile Media & Double Twenty Productions)
  • Big Brother Goes Mobile (CBS)

The 2006-7 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Interactive Television for creative achievement will be presented on Saturday, September 8 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and televised on E! on Saturday, September 15, 2007 at 8 pm (ET/PT).
