    REELZCHANNEL—TV About Movies® today announced the launch of “The Pillars of the Earth” enhanced viewing app for the nine-part miniseries which makes its REELZ debut starting Sunday, December 4, 2011. The app syncs with episodes of “The Pillars of the Earth” airing on REELZCHANNEL TV and lets viewers tap into a wealth of behind-the-scenes information detailing Ken Follett’s bestselling novel and the miniseries. Compatible with Apple’s iPad, iPad 2 and also web browsers, the app is free of charge and available now for download at Apple’s iTunes store and at reelz.com/apps.

    “The popularity of ‘The Kennedys’ app revealed how our viewers enjoy the second-screen experience,” said Bob Bedford REELZCHANNEL SVP of Marketing and New Media. “Fans will once again have the opportunity to explore an epic television miniseries event on REELZ by engaging deeper in the story created by Ken Follett and joining the conversation through the ‘The Pillars of the Earth’ enhanced viewing app.”
