With the end of American Idol, Fox is adding a new interactive musical game show based on Shazam app from Mark Burnett, Fox Television Group chairman and CEO Dana Walden announced Monday at the TCA (Television Critics Association) summer press tour.
Beat Shazam centers around individuals competing to identify a particular song, similar to the way the Shazam app helps users find out the title and artist behind a track. Contestants that are successful will then have to go up against the app for the top prize. Burnett and Jeff Apploff (Don’t Forget the Lyrics) will be executive producers, and Shazam Entertainment Limited will be a partner on the series, so far no premiere date has been announced.
Shazam was founded in 1999 and since then there have been more than 25 billion Shazam queries, and the app currently has hundreds of millions of monthly active users from all over the globe.
