TF1 wins TVcheck Award for best social TV channel at 2013
Social Media Awards

At the second Social Media Awards, held yesterday evening at the Sorbonne University, TF1 won the TVcheck Award for best social TV channel for the NRJ Musical Awards, The Voice, Les Enfoirés and Miss France programmes. The distinction underscores the channel's ability to broadcast major events on its channel and the innovation shown by the Group in its efforts to enrich the experience of all viewers with its programmes.

Commenting, Olivier Abecassis, Chief Executive Officer of e-TF1, said: "We are pleased to receive this award in acknowledgement of the cross-cutting work of the Broadcasting and e-TF1 teams. We have accelerated our expansion into digital since the start of the year with the launch of Connect, the second-screen function on MYTF1. This innovation responds to the new uses of our audiences and further enhances their strong relationship with our programmes. This strategy will continue to be rolled out across TF1's entire programme grid."
