SocialGuide Signs Data Deal With Tribune

SocialGuide, a New York-based social TV company, has entered into an agreement with Tribune Media Services (TMS), a provider of entertainment information databases. 

SocialGuide’s social networking platform will use comprehensive TV schedules and rich program descriptions from TMS in its “What’s On” offering.  This information will let SocialGuide users decide what shows to watch and will facilitate real-time interactions between users as they watch live TV.

“TMS has a wealth of information on TV shows that we incorporate into our platform,” said Sean Casey, founder-CEO of SocialGuide. “The access to the information allows us to build richer experiences for broadcast and cable networks and their television programs.”
