The TV Blog Coalition - not as scary as it sounds

The TV Addict announced the formation of the TV Blog Coalition on Monday, inviting us to think of it as our “weekly Must Read TV from some of the web’s finest television blogs” and not, presumably, a spirited effort to dominate the world. Though we will remain vigilant in case their ambitions get too extreme…

LocateTV - thoughts from across the ‘net

It’s not often that the writers of the LocateTV blog get the chance to pull up their sleeves and pretend to write like real journalists, but a recent conversation with the writer of Going Like Sixty inspired us. Mark, this is for you…
Esteemed ‘media mogul’ and writer of the popular blog, Going Like Sixty, heaps [...]

TV Links in the clink

It seems our post last week on the illegal downloading of TV episodes and movies was even more timely than we thought.
On Friday, Guardian Unlimited declared that the Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact) and the Gloucestershire Police had collaborated to close the UK-based TV Links, one of the most popular pirate entertainment download sites on [...]

Fansite of the Week: Dedicated to Daniel

Our coveted weely award has previously gone to blogs and forums dedicated to TV in general, genres and individual shows, so it’s time we acknowledged the great work being done out there on behalf of our favourite actors.

Have a Star Wars weekend

It’s all in the details

We’re delighted with the feedback that we’ve received since LocateTV went into public beta.

Stalking by TV

Celebrity is the new royalty, and actors are the emperors of them all. Film actors often sweep us away with their romance, intensity and excitement; who didn’t fall in love with Jack Sparrow, man, woman or child? And TV regulars can feel as familiar and accessible as old friends, living out their dramas in [...]

Television technology of the future

LocateTV is a beautiful marriage of TV and technology. From the most up-to-date data aggregation and region-specific search software, to clean, focused web design and content-sharing widgets embeddable with a simple piece of code, we think that it’s a prime example of how the ancient art of entertainment can be enhanced by the tools of [...]

Fansite of the week: Heroes-TV.com

Heroes: it’s epic. People are talking about it everywhere. US, UK, water cooler or online forum, everyone wants a piece of the cheerleader. Which means that there are a lot of Heroes blogs out there on the net, and it can be difficult to sort the well-written, interesting and informative sites from the oh-look-Hayden-Panettiere-is-really-cute-in-this-episode variety.
