Up there with Wikipedia!
by Lottie on December 9th 2008 at 9:41 pm
Just in - LocateTV beats Wikipedia, at least according to Tina from MakeUseOf.com. In her article "The Best Sites For TV Show Episode Guides & More" she writes many nice things about us: "LocateTV is superior because it takes advantage of many features the internet has to offer." "All components are integrated with ease of use in mind." Thanks Tina! It's posts like this that spur us on to keep making LocateTV better and better.

According to Tiscali's TV Trends Report 2007 published today: Strong stuff; but in many ways good news for LocateTV. The report, independent although commissioned by UK broadband and media provider Tiscali, claims that in a competitive and fast-moving entertainment market, 'choice is key and will have a significant impact on who suceeds'. Absolutely. We set up the site because our experiences suggested that, with so much content available over so many platforms (TV, DVD, the different online providers), people want to find out exactly where and when they can see their favourite shows and actors, rather than wade through crowded… read more »

With the newly released The Golden Compass getting mixed reviews - is it a spine-tingling spectacular or a politics-and-religion-shy disappointment compared to Philip Pullman's books? - we'd like to ask you a provocative question. Are today's fantasy movies too CGI-slick? Was the rough-around-the-edges style of something like Jim Henson's Labyrinth more spooky and magical than the glossy beauty of Lord of the Rings? Are epics bigger and better than ever, or do you pine for the old days of Willow, Legend and the like? Do amazing effects mean that our imaginations are redundant? Your mission should you choose to accept… read more »

We've received lots of feedback from people such as Mori at the After Ellen blog who have been introduced to LocateTV, love the concept, but would like to see coverage in regions other than the US and UK. One of the most common requests is for Canadian coverage, so as a direct upshot of this feedback we are currently doing a study to look at the logistics of incorporating Canada into LocateTV. Expanding our global coverage has been an ambition from the outset, but presents a number of challenges for us. For each new country we must source the information… read more »
