Friday, September 09, 2005, posted by Tom Weiss
TV Genius (http://www.tvgenius.co.uk), the intelligent search engine for UK television, is supplying the electronic programming guide (EPG) to ITV for its new web portal for mobile phone users.

Full programme listings for all the ITV channels, plus BBC1, BBC2, Channel 4 and Channel 5, are available on the portal thanks to TV Genius.

Users can also get messages sent to their mobile phones to remind them when their favourite shows are screening.

Tom Weiss, co-founder of Genius Ltd, comments: ‘TV Genius is going from strength to strength, as demonstrated by ITV choosing us for this project. Television is moving rapidly on to other platforms and there must be a converged way of organising and presenting the information about programme availability.’

‘Our products tackle head-on the problem of the multi-channel, multi-platform universe. TV Genius ensures viewers can find what they want to watch – wherever they are and whatever device they’re using.’
