Don’t compare upcoming streaming network Alpha to Netflix. The service from Legendary Digital Networks will launch this fall and offer “exclusive content and early access to programming for a monthly fee,” and is planning to stand out from the streaming pack by focusing on experience. It will reportedly be the “first ‘completely interactive’ video platform,” encouraging social viewing with chat rooms and forums. The audience will be able to participate with streaming content in a variety of ways: “everything from telling people on the show what they want them to do or voting in online polls that direct the on-air conversation to audience members selected to become part of the action.” (StreamDaily)
