Crunch will create 720 hours of non-stop reality, will feature some of India?s most popular reality stars and is a reflection of the space starved urban jungles we live in today. It?s a show where the smartest use of game theory will decide the winner.?
Ritesh Ghosal - Head, Brand Marketing, TATA Docomo added, ?A multi-screen, 24 hour reality show requires interactive access to the content on the internet and consistently high internet speeds to enjoy completely. Between Youtube and Tata Docomo photon, MTV Crunch has the right ingredients to own the youth?s eyeballs and a mind as no TV show has ever managed.?
