Idol Backstage
Origin and production
In 2006 Fremantle Australia's digital media division launched "Idol Backstage", a companion show to "Australian Idol" distributed by Telstra and promoted in clips on the main show. It followed the pranks, gags and interviews of host Josh Zepps as he roamed behind the scenes of the Australian Idol set while the show went to air.
"Idol Backstage" marked a clear break in style from the rest of the Idol franchise, appealing to a young, tech-savvy audience.

There were 54 episodes in total, with additional content available on mobile phones and on BigPond's [http://bigpondguide.com/genre.php?channel=21 Idol Backstage Online] website.
Reaction
"Idol Backstage" was a popular success, with viewer numbers climbing strongly week-on-week and total Idol web video downloads reaching a record 2.5 million throughout the season. Traffic to the Idol website was up 40% on the previous year with more than 26 million page impressions, and "Australian Idol" became the most popular television program website in the country.
