IceTV makes the Sydney Morning Herald’s – 20 Most Defining Moments of 2007

December 11th, 2007

IceTV’s win against Channel Nine in August this year was one of the “20 Most Defining Moments of 2007 in Film, TV & Radio” according to the Sydney Morning Herald in the Guide & Icon section of yesterday’s newspaper (Monday 10th of December).

IceTV was featured amongst such headlines as the resignation of Eddie McGuire as Nine’s CEO, the overwhelming success and influence of Joost & Facebook this year online and the notorious “Canadian motorcade” by the Chaser team at this year’s APEC Summit in Sydney.

For the full story grab yourself a copy of yesterday’s SMH or go to the SMH website (smh.com.au) to view it online.

IceTV beats Channel Nine, August 9
David and Goliath stories have enthralled audiences since biblical times. So it was when minnow IceTV, which supplies an electronic program guide for free-to-air TV, was sued by Nine for breach of copyright. Nine’s claim of protecting its intellectual property was disingenuous – partly because producing, let alone scheduling, Australia’s Funniest Home Videos isn’t intellectual property, but mainly because the move was simply about stifling development in a digital world…

Our thanks goes to Greg, Michael, Simon, Sue & Stephen and the rest of the Guide & Icon team for their continued support.

Regards,
IceTV
