We use both the Global Listings press schedules (in Word) and their XML files. The programme descriptions are rather good and not too long, which is helpful. We use their text verbatim and import it direct into our database.

In an increasingly competitive European TV marketplace, those channels that succeed are those that help viewers make an informed choice from the schedule. We are delighted to be working with a leading-edge organisation that helps its clients transform their listings and improve the service to both customers, journalists and platform owners alike.
