LocateTV Blog

Our developer Pete has obviously had a busy and stressful day, because he just sent me a calculation about how much Star Trek is on TV within the current broadcast window. Watching for 12 hours every day, it would take 12 days, 1 hour and 28 minutes to watch, a pretty daunting - or exciting - figure, depending on just how much you love the good ship Enterprise and her motley crew.

It does go to show how important LocateTV could be for fans of shows like this, which are on a constant roll of repeats across different networks. The constantly updated search allows you to catch the exact episodes you wish and to navigate a viewing schedule only slightly less expansive than the final frontier of space itself.

This is also where we see embeds as providing a real service to all those fan sites out there which are constantly playing catch-up both with transmissions of their favourite programme and with TV appearances from the major and minor actors in the show. A permanent embed in the sidebar of sites such as TrekWeb or Sheryl’s Star Trek Site could show every viewer of their page when and where the next episode is airing, automatically updated to be specific to their region and time. An individual post about new Spock Zachary Quinto on The Trek Nation? Slip an embed at the bottom to see when, and in what, you can next see him strut his acting stuff on TV.

LocateTV makes the televisual universe more manageable, for viewers and bloggers alike. We have however just helped decreased Pete’s productivity by 12 days, 1 hour and 28 minutes.
