Football stadium ringtone chart goes live
netimperative reports one one of the most innovative ringtones ideas, I've come across. A new ringtone and download chart that is exclusive to football stadiums across the UK - developed by TV network Match Day Media.
"The Stadium Music League chart will be presented by Radio 1 DJ Sara Cox, and will provide each stadium with a unique chart, where positions are controlled entirely by participating fans at the game.
Votes are cast by text message, costing £3.50 ($6.10), including the ringtone and a pre-paid link to download the full song at home via mdmtv.com, powered by online TuneTribe.com.
Every vote will then count as a sale and be eligible for inclusion in the UK Official National Chart.
Match Day Media said the service provides the music industry with a platform to tap into the football world and be able to connect directly with the 1.4 million fans gathering at football stadiums every month around the country.
The Stadium Music League will be broadcast across a network of top football stadiums, via state of the art plasma screens, screening MDM.TV, which shows a live match feed, half time highlights and football news."
