Making TV Better Since the launch of TV Genius in 2005, the TV industry has undergone dramatic changes. PVR usage is now widespread in most markets; various broadcasters have launched catch-up and VOD services; pay TV providers are offering over-the-top services and many TV executives consider Twitter and Facebook a key part of their strategic mix. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the consumer’s desire for TV. Although many in 2005 predicted the decline of linear TV, it’s now clear that viewers use VOD to watch shows they’ve missed or start a new series that their friends are watching. Throughout this time TV Genius has demonstrated our commitment to the medium by developing and deploying cutting edge products for our customers. This week we are pleased to announce that the TV Genius product set has been fully incorporated into Red Bee Media’s latest offering, RedDiscover™. RedDiscover combines Red Bee Media’s established metadata build, sourcing and distribution services with award-winning search and recommendation technologies powered by TV Genius, user interface designand companion apps and ‘second screen’ experiences to enhance the user journey. Are you heading to IP&TV World Forum this year? Red Bee Media will be exhibiting at stand 253; please get in touch if you would like to arrange a meeting. -Matt Hall |
