Darlo TV data firm signs Foxtel digital deal

[NewsMan]

Darlinghurst-based TV program data supplier HWW has signed a three-year
contract with Foxtel to provide data to about 100 new digital TV channels.


The listed Sydney company said in a statement it would supply a range of
data aggregation, cleaning and content management services to Foxtel's pay
digital channels, which are slated for launch in the first half of this
year.


Paul Marshall, CEO at HWW, claimed the company was the only one in Australia
that could ensure TV program listing data was "consistently accurate", which
he put down to HWW's electronic TV guide publishing experience.


"We have staff working 365 days a year -- 366 in 2004 -- on TV program
listings and amendments," Marshall said..........

On cable TV they have a weather channel - 24 hours of weather. We had
something like that where I grew up. We called it a window.
