HUGE Brings Full-Episode Viewing To FX
Los Angeles, CA -- FX, the News Corporation basic cable network recognized for its innovative and original offerings, and interactive agency HUGE, unveil a revamped experience for the core FXNetworks.com.
The site offers, for the first time, full-episode viewing of its popular and critically lauded shows. Initial metrics have shot past expectations, with unique visitors and page views doubled and average length of stay on the site up nearly threefold. Most impressively, the new Community platform has seen registrations go up by 30%.
“We believe the quality and interactivity of the re-designed FXnetworks.com reflects the quality of the network’s brand,” said Chuck Saftler, Executive Vice President, FX Networks. “We worked very hard to create a site that provides viewers and fans of FX programming with an outstanding online experience. Our collaboration with HUGE, and the implementation of the new broadband player, has resulted in what we believe to be one of the best websites of any television network.”
This was the first collaboration between HUGE and FX. HUGE spearheaded the full development of the site and was responsible for bringing a new face to FXNetworks.com before the fall kickoff. Built for long-term success, HUGE oversaw backend development and integrated a new CMS and video player. These innovative tactics are part of an ongoing shift in the landscape that is television content and distribution.
“The new platform creates a more impactful and emotional experience. It brings TV-style viewing to the Internet and complements the original nature of FX’s programming,” said Michael Claypool, HUGE Business Strategy Director.
