iLoveTV emerges from quiet period with Reuters portal-build deal in hand

LoveTV Entertainment Inc., a Toronto-based interactive television company, has re-emerged from a quiet period dating back one year. On April 9, the company announced a deal with Reuters to build a portal for the news company’s video content. While iLoveTV’s core business hasn’t included such fee-for-service-type work in the past, COO Wayne Thompson says the announcement shouldn’t be taken as a sign the company has switched focus.

The three groups are often adversaries before the board, but believe they can cooperate to save themselves millions of dollars per year in copyright hearing costs.
