Multi-platform series

See also: multi-platform television

A multi-platform series is a form of entertainment where the story is told over a range of media platforms, such as television broadcast, online video (such as with YouTube), cellphones, and downloaded podcasts which can be watched either on a computer or a portable media player. It is a bridging of television and new media.

The content of the multi-platform series can either be different over each type of media (such as Battlestar Galactica and Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance), or the content can be the same in each delivery stream, created intentionally to be seen on any screen or device the viewer wishes (for example Tights and Fights).
