Bigg Boss 15
The rise in the OTT medium has forced makers to rethink strategies. The strategies should be unique and attention-grabbing. This year, Bigg Boss 15 is going online. The season will be premiering on Voot Select. Till now, we have seen that the show opens with a grand premiere on TV. For two years, the contestants are staying inside for a longer time. Fans remember how the show got extended by a month in Bigg Boss 13. This time, the top brass of Viacom 18 have decided to make full use of their TV and online reach to make it a huge success and hit. According to media reports"The company has internally adopted the digital-first approach, so, Bigg Boss will be launched online. The television premiere will take place six weeks after the original airing." They feel that this two-pronged approach will bring in more benefits for the show. The source added, "The platform will be able to increase its user base drastically. Secondly, the show will be far more interactive. The junta factor will give the common man the powers to hand-pick the contestants, and have a say in their tasks and exit from the show."
