In addition, with Bravo's fans being early adopters and followers of the latest technology trends and at the forefront of what's hot and happening on the web, Bravo continued to offer multiplatform initiatives from the Bravo Talk Bubble to Bravo Now that offer a deeper, viewing experience. "Bethenny Getting Married?," which delivered Bravo's highest-rated series premiere in history, concluded its highly successful freshman season in the third quarter with the inauguration of Bravo Now, the network's new iPad app; and "Top Chef D.C." was the first-ever television brand to partner with Groupon to engage fans with the chefs and food on a personal, one-on-one level.
