SAN JOSE, Calif. — TiVo Corporation (NASDAQ: TIVO), a global leader in entertainment technology and audience insights, and Discovery Communications, a global leader in premium entertainment, today announced that the companies have entered into a multi-year product agreement.
Discovery Communications selected TiVo’s Audience Works for Marketing, an end-to-end inventory management and execution product suite that enables the company to drive ratings and viewership through audience-driven on-air promotions and cross-channel media plans. The product suite is designed to allow Discovery to improve the process of efficiently finding and targeting new, lapsed, intermittent and prospective viewers to increase overall viewership of its portfolio of networks and drive consumer loyalty.

“The TiVo product suite represents a key strategic shift to take our promo planning into the world of the future. Through the use of predictive analytics and individual viewer probabilities, we can now take a truly audience-based approach to our allocation strategies and better achieve our goals of increased loyalty and engagement,” said Seth Goren, senior vice president, Media Strategy & Analytics, Discovery Communications.
