SAN CARLOS, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
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

Under the terms of the multi-year agreement, Turner will utilise
services from TiVo’s new Studio,

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.
