G4 will debut its latest programming acquisition, the popular ABC series Lost, on Sunday, Sept. 14 at 9 p.m. with interactive pop-ups that give viewers character profiles, show trivia and commentary from the hit show’s creators.
The network will air the Emmy Award-winning series every weeknight with its interactive application, beginning with the two-hour pilot episode. “‘Lost in 2.0’ will give both existing and new fans the opportunity to delve deeper into one of television’s most talked-about shows and experience previously undiscovered aspects of the story, characters and mysteries that encircle the island,” network officials said in a statement. “With the premiere of all-new episodes on ABC delayed until early 2009, G4 offers the perfect forum for Lost addicts to reconnect with the series and gain insider scoop about their favorite characters and plotlines, while interacting with other fans online.”
G4 has also set up a dedicated Web site, www.g4tv.com/LOST, to present additional special features including an "Interactive Episode Guide," highlighting the major events in each episode, a "Daily Lost Trivia" section presented in bar trivia style with 15 - 20 questions per episode and a "Next Episode" box describing the upcoming episode, with date and air time.
G4 secured off-network cable rights to Lost from Disney-ABC Domestic Television. The deal gives G4 rights to existing episodes of the show and extends through all six seasons of the series. http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6595569.html"
