Bravo Media, E! and Oxygen Media announced the launch of a new initiative today with mobile app Dubsmash in a first-of-its-kind cross-network partnership. Fans will have the opportunity to become part of their favorite Bravo, E! and Oxygen shows by creating their own Dubsmashes of buzzy moments from upcoming episodes. The submitted Dubsmashes will then be integrated into special on-air Dubsmash Social Editions.

The partnership will launch with "The Real Housewives of New York City" Reunion Part 1 airing on Tuesday, August 18 at 9pm ET/PT. Dubsmash will then launch a dedicated category for "The Real Housewives" on the platform's trending page. There, fans will find laugh out loud and catchy moments from the episode that they can use to create their own Dubsmashes and share across social channels with the show's official hashtag #RHONY. The network will gather a selection of the top viewer submissions for use in a special on-air Dubsmash Social Edition, airing Thursday, August 20 at 10pm ET/PT where the fan-generated videos will appear on-screen during the broadcast. Following the kick off with "The Real Housewives of New York City," both E! and Oxygen are planning to feature Dubsmash Social Editions tied to upcoming series later this year.

"Viewers today are incredibly engaged on social, so we're constantly seeking new ways to deliver them relevant and exciting content on their preferred platforms," said Ellen Stone, Executive Vice President of Marketing, Bravo and Oxygen Media. "Dubsmash has become a cultural phenomenon, and this partnership will give our passionate fan base recognition in a fun, quirky and interactive way, all while celebrating their favorite shows."

"This partnership gives us a great opportunity to interact with different demographics and to bring Dubsmash to the TV screen for the first time" said Roland Grenke, co-founder and CEO of Dubsmash. "We are very much looking forward to the campaign."
