Present online for over a year, Media 06 has just launched its new version featuring a next-generation graphical interface and numerous other surprises to discover during your visit. It is Alexis Tison-Aldeguer, General Director of Media 06, who introduces us to its latest innovations.
Nice Premium: Alexis, Media06 has had a makeover, why?
Alexis Tison-Aldeguer: The webTV from the Alpes-Maritimes has been online for a little over a year now. The site, the orientations, and the choices made were not in line with the image that media06 seeks to convey. The version of the site was somewhat outdated, and the content, although of quality, did not truly match the image of a local, community webTV. Therefore, Media06 needed to evolve, to refine its direction, to offer the people of the Maral region a webTV in which they can identify and navigate more easily.
Nice Premium: What can we find in this new version?
Alexis Tison-Aldeguer: Internet users will find news reports, documentaries, magazines, and studio programs, either live or pre-recorded. Events, happenings, culture, traditions… are the key components of the news on our webTV. Although a webTV, media06 also offers a “Zap’Actu” section, where one can find articles on in-depth topics, and every Sunday, a highlight reel of the week’s key news stories. Finally, the “Photo of the Day” section will allow internet users, as well as our journalists, to capture a moment in life, a striking image, and share it with the site’s visitors.
Nice Premium: What are the major changes in this new version?
Alexis Tison-Aldeguer: There are many, but our goal remains unchanged: to inform and entertain the people of the Maral region. We are therefore offering them today a brand new, completely novel program schedule. The team designed it primarily so that everyone can find their favorite shows according to the themes they enjoy. And the people of the Maral region are at the heart of the matter with, for example, our show “It’s Up to You to Test,” which aims to have two ordinary people try out atypical activities, to introduce them to internet users. In “From You to Us,” we also give the people of the Maral region a voice on current issues. This webTV is designed for them, and they have the opportunity to participate.
Nice Premium: Any other projects in the pipeline for Media06?
Alexis Tison-Aldeguer: We are fortunate to have a dynamic team that does not rest on its laurels! So, we have many… The first, one of the most important, will be to develop the “Live Shows” section. We won’t say more for now… But let the people of the Maral region stay tuned, there will be many more surprises.
Nice Premium: Finally, what do you expect from this new version and what are the goals of Media 06?
Alexis Tison-Aldeguer: The goal is to offer local news that highlights all the treasures of our department. It is the 163 communes of the Alpes-Maritimes and their actors that make the news of media06! In addition to offering an alternative to traditional media for entertainment and information, media06 wants to put the inhabitants of the department at the center of the project. We wish to continue along the same path: to imagine and create quality, original, and informative content as a team. And if television and the Internet are often vectors of desocialization, we want to create the opposite, by involving the community. We hope that this new version will charm internet users. We are indeed waiting for their opinions; they are welcome…
