A new ITV interactive service available on digital satellite will launch alongside the new series of Pop Idol on 9 Aug, meaning people will this time be able to vote on the series via their remote control as well as by phone, SMS or web.
Jane Marshall, ITV Interactive Controller, said: "Our new service will be easy to use and give fans as much Pop Idol information as they could want or need, at any time of day. Voting will be simple, and viewers don’t have to leave their sofas or miss any of the show, as well as enjoying all the extra games whenever they want to. I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Interactive was a huge success earlier this year, with over 1m people voting via their remote control, and we hope that Pop Idol-Interactive will be just as popular."
