MUMBAI: The B4U Network is planning to launch picture messaging as a key feature of its successful interactive service on B4U Music in the UK.

With this, the channel becomes the first UK Asian television channel that will enable viewers to text their pictures directly to the B4U Interactive service.

In addition to this, there will be the introduction of a new late night interactive band called Toxic as well as further features that viewers can toy with, from 18 December.

As part of the overall revamp of B4U Interactive, viewers will be able to witness a new look on-air. There will also be the introduction of 'Topic of the Day' within Vibe, which will give viewers the opportunity to express their opinion and this will be reflected via an on-screen poll, for instance, 'Do Asians celebrate Christmas more than their own religious festivals, Yes, No or Maybe?' The results of which will be broadcast at regular intervals during Vibe.
