Life Again, BBM Republic Chooses YouTube Because It Is More Flexible

BBM Republic (BBM Republic YouTube Channel)

JAKARTA - The Republic of Dreams/BBM, a parody program that used to be entrenched on national private television, has now reappeared on the YouTube channel Republik BBM. This political education program has its own reasons for choosing to broadcast on social media over TV.

"The consideration is that 2024 has entered a political issue. We thought about broadcasting again. At first we wanted to broadcast it on TV, then we discussed with Effendi Gazali, we saw the ILC program which was very good, the rating was good, why did you move to YouTube," said Iwel Sastra, host of the Dream Republic when contacted Saturday, April 30.

"There must be something that makes such a program unable to be broadcast on TV because it is broadcast on YouTube. Even now, based on the survey results, we know that people see it on social media. So we decided to broadcast on YouTube," he continued.

According to him, it's time for more political education that is entertaining but still criticizing and ultimately unites. "Don't let political disputes end up in prison. We must remain critical and witty. Number one we take care of so that there are no loopholes in violating the ITE Law. We learn so that the supporters of the leader don't report. We also learn diction, the humor model is learned, don't get involved unexpected," he said.

The first episode, continued Iwel, was a trial program. The seriousness of working on the Republic of Dreams will continue after Lebaran.

"Initially, we asked to break the fast together, yesterday was the first filming. Try it first, see the response. Later, the Eid routine ends," he hoped.

The enthusiasm of the audience made him even more enthusiastic about shooting in the future. "The response was positive, so we like it. Judging from the analysis, it turns out that millennials are also watching. Happy, this is our homework, how can it exist and go viral on social media," he said.

The YouTube channel, he continued, also provides the possibility to further develop the event. Moreover, the personnel who filled the event were quite a lot.

"The challenge for this program is that it has many players, many people cultivate it, you have to use a continuous studio. Once a week you can. I don't know if the response will be good. Just like other programs, we will broadcast it in full. Variants can be played. On YouTube, it is more flexible," said Iwel Sastra. .
