TiVo Corporation (NASDAQ: TIVO), a global leader in
entertainment technology and audience insights, today announced
that global media company Turner has selected TiVo as its EMEA
metadata distribution partner.
Under the terms of the multi-year agreement, Turner will utilise
services from TiVo’s new Studio, Broadcast and Network Metadata
Packages to manage the company’s electronic programme guide (EPG)
metadata distribution and service, which covers 44 EMEA channels.
Turner’s 200+ customers of its channel schedules and programming
information will receive the data services, facilitating the
delivery of a richer and more engaging content discovery experience
for viewers.
“Today’s consumers demand a fully connected entertainment
experience to be able to discover and access content they want
quickly and easily,” said James Crossland, regional vice president
technology and operations EMEA and APAC, Turner. “When we were
selecting a partner to enable our metadata distribution, TiVo’s
global reach and long-standing experience working with the industry
ecosystem made them the natural choice to power our services across
Europe. We want to give our viewers a superior EPG experience when
browsing our channels – we see it as an integral part of our
programme offering to them.”
“TiVo is providing metadata distribution services that
distribute multiple formats where needed,” said Roz Ho, senior vice
president and general manager, metadata, TiVo. “Joining forces with
Turner is a testament to TiVo’s technological capabilities in
delivering solutions to help make TV and video viewing more
enjoyable for their customers.”
The agreement with TiVo comes at a time of rapid evolution for
Turner into a more consumer-centric, data-driven media company,
with an accelerated focus on partnering with tech partners and
vendors who can help deliver first-class consumer experiences at
every step of their engagement with Turner’s diverse news, kids and
general entertainment programming portfolio.
TiVo will showcase Studio, Broadcast and Network Metadata
Packages along with the company’s entertainment technology and
audience insights solutions at the TiVo booth #SU3725 during NAB,
