Twitter to Live-Stream More Red Carpet Programming

SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter and dick clark productions (dcp) will again partner to live-stream programming from upcoming award shows exclusively on the online platform.

The programming, produced by dick clark productions and dcp partners, will be available globally for logged-in and logged-out audiences on Twitter and connected devices. The programming will kick off with the official two-hour red carpet pre-show for the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards on April 2. Subsequent red carpet pre-shows will be exclusively live-streamed for the Billboard Music Awards on May 21 and the American Music Awards in November. Twitter will also live-stream the 7th annual Streamy Awards in partnership with dcp and Tubefilter, which will air in fall 2017.

“Twitter is where conversations about award shows happen live,” said Anthony Noto, COO at Twitter. “After a successful collaboration with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and dick clark productions on our exclusive Golden Globes red carpet show, we’re excited to partner again with dcp to bring more live programming to Twitter.”

“We are thrilled with the success of the Golden Globes red carpet pre-show and look forward to working with Twitter on additional shows,” said Mike Mahan, the president of dick clark productions. “By offering a unique online viewing opportunity, we are able to expand the audience experience and generate deeper, more compelling conversation.”
