  • Interactive television production is more like software development than television production.

  • Interactive television production can be split into four stages: development; specification; production and testing; and launch and operation.

  • A typical interactive television production team has people that deal with production, technical work, content and operations, and marketing and business development.

  • There are a variety of interactive television production tools for use with different middleware systems; some can be used by non-technical people, others are for computer programmers.
