October 7th: The winners of this year’s TV Innovation Awards were announced during the TV 3.0 Conference at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills on October 6th. Commenting on the aim of the awards, IMS Vice President Ian Weightman stated, “As the TV industry evolves to a true on-demand experience, with users able to access extensive libraries of content to be viewed at a time and place and on the device of their choosing, many new challenges and opportunities are presented. The goal of the TV Innovation Awards is to recognize the most forward-thinking companies creating products and services that are driving this new TV paradigm, which is often referred to as TV 3.0. We received well over 100 entries for this year’s awards, which were judged by an independent panel of 14 industry experts.
