AfterBuzz TV is an online broadcast network that specializes in after-show podcasts for a wide range of television series such as American Horror Story, Mad Men, American Idol, Boardwalk Empire, and The Vampire Diaries.
With over 20 million weekly downloads from over 150 countries, AfterBuzz TV is an online broadcast network created by E! host Maria Menounos and producer Keven Undergaro. Nicknamed the 'after-show' network, when viewers finish watching episodes of their favorite shows, they can go to afterbuzztv.com to watch or listen to a post-game 'after-show' for that series. On each AfterBuzz TV after-show, an eclectic and knowledgeable mix of celebrities, personalities, and industry professionals break down that night’s episode, take calls from fans, and interview guests. The network produces over 100 hours of content per week. The network also produces "Spotlight On", an in depth, long-form interview series with stars and show runners.
As for the concept, when the fans finish viewing the selected shows, they can tune into ABTV where hosts will analyze and discuss the episode. Hosts will also interview guests and take calls from fans. ABTV is talking to the post-game break down of sporting events. Hosts quickly prepare and go on-air roughly 10–15 minutes after the episode concludes. ABTV produces over 100 hours of original programming per week. The network has produced over 300 different series.
Fans consume AfterBuzz TV content live by watching on AfterBuzzTV.com and participating in the discussion via chat or by calling in or popular platforms such as YouTube, iTunes, Stitcher, etc.
Producer Keven Undergaro and E! host Maria Menounos created the AfterBuzz TV network for the purpose of discussing their favorite show, AMC's Breaking Bad. Another inspiration stemmed from the creators seeing countless discussions on the web regarding the infamous Lost finale, with no place for fans to congregate, discuss, and interact in an intimate way. Menounos states, "We were really fascinated by what happened when Lost went off air in the series finale when people were flooding message boards, and the internet actually crashed because of all the volume."
