Clicker TV Guide Expands To The Tune Of $11 Million
TV guide/aggregator website clicker.com which was launched on the back of $8 million worth of funding has raised an additional $11 million bringing its total funding to $19 million. The website which has a comprehensive set of links and searches allowing you to watch pretty much anything online, free or pay to view.
Clicker was announced itself to the world in November 2009 with the aim of becoming the greatest internet television guide. Clicker is not trying to compete with existing online tv websites but is acting a comprehensive guide to them. It achieves this by indexing a selection of movies, tv shows, music videos. Some streams can be watched on the Clicker website but mostly you get redirected to the website that hosts the stream.
Considering the website doesn’t actually host any content which is a massive, you have to wonder why they need the cash. Well, wonder no more – The company is using the cash to support long-term product development and partnerships with major content providers. It has done well on the buzz meter, being named one of OnMedia’s Top 100 Private Companies, Mashable’s 8 Companies Reinventing Television Online, and ReadWriteWeb’s 10 Start-up Products of 2009.
Clicker has listings and links to around 600,000 episodes from 10,000 shows and movie streams. The jury is still out over whether a website like this is needed as it just redirects users elsewhere, and annoyingly mostly to content that has to be paid for. But with the kind of backing and cash it has behind it. You have to expect its going to grow in stature and importance over the coming months.
