SeaChange Announces Agreement to Acquire Timeline Labs - Seite 2

Timeline Labs CEO Malcolm CasSelle added, "Unlike its competitors, Timeline Labs provides best-of-breed search capabilities across multiple social networks to surface breaking and trending news for top media organizations. It also features visualization tools that let broadcasters and other news teams do what they do best: tell stories and break news. Our teaming with SeaChange is an exciting stage for Timeline Labs. We anticipate cross-selling opportunities that will help us to extend our platform to new customers including multiscreen and OTT service providers in new geographies."

Through their shared focus on innovating to enhance television service providers' effectiveness, SeaChange and Timeline Labs began collaborating to enable the NewCoin local TV audience measurement venture announced last week with FOX Television Stations, Tribune Media and Univision. NewCoin's mission is to harness the data-gathering power of currently available and emerging technologies in order to create a broader based measurement tool that will accurately measure audiences across the entire spectrum of linear and digital platforms.

SeaChange will meet with television service providers and content owners during the National Association of Television Programming Executives Conference (NATPE 2015, Miami, January 20-22) and the National Cable Television Cooperative's Winter Education Conference (San Antonio, January 26-27).
