From Hollywood to Bollywood – Industry’s Leading Metadata Provides Foundation for Advanced Search and Navigation Connecting Consumers to Their Favorite Entertainment

Rovi Corporation (NASDAQ: ROVI) today announced Rovi has made significant enhancements to its entertainment discovery portfolio for India. Rovi has expanded its metadata coverage to the top over-the-top (OTT) and Indian pay-TV providers, including more than 20 of the most popular multi-system operators (MSOs) and direct-to-home (DTH) providers.

New features include regionalized metadata, such as program descriptions and celebrity profiles, written by editors who are located in the rapidly growing Rovi office in India. With Rovi Video, customers in India are able to incorporate new features that highlight regionally relevant actors and actresses with in-depth facts for hundreds of domestic and international celebrities. Additionally rich images are available for the majority of movies, TV shows, and celebrities profiled.
