In a press release, Paley announced the casts and producers of the hit television shows ABC's Scandal, CBS's The Good Wife, The CW's The Flash and Arrow among the first honorees. In addition, Yahoo is named as the 'Official Sponsor', who will exclusively live stream each panel.
With special screenings, Q&A panel discussions and a possibility of asking a question to the casts, Paley Fest is one of the major events in television that fans from all over the country flock to each year. Fans have the opportunity to see their favorite television stars up close and personal, as well as meet other die-hards, anxious to get a more in-depth look at their favorite shows. As someone who attended the Sleepy Hollow panel last year for the first time, the experience was thrilling, the audience electric, bursting with fandom love.
There's no doubt that television and social media go hand and hand. To that end, Paley has been incorporating it for the past several years. This year, panels will be live streamed via the digital platform, Yahoo Screen and then immediately be made available on Video On Demand (VOD) which fans can access via the Paley app, as well as the Yahoo Screen app. Yahoo's sponsorship of the fan event is only one of the Company's larger multi-event sponsors that will continue throughout the year.
President and CEO of Paley Center for Media, Maureen J. Reidy, is thrilled to bring Paley Fest back to the Dolby Theatre for a second year, after a successful move to the venue last year. She had this to say about the interactive event, "PALEYFEST has grown exponentially over the last thirty-two years, and we are looking forward to working with Yahoo to create a compelling and engaging content experience for TV fans around the country to enjoy the Festival together."
