E-GuideTV Installed in 63 Southern Calif. Properties
Online, August 31, 2010 (Newswire.com) - E-Guide Services, Inc. (EGS) recently installed its fully customizable television channel guide, E-GuideTV, in sixty-three (63) hotel properties in Southern California (between July 26 and August 6, 2010). This accomplishment is marked as the single largest and most successful installation initiative within a two-week period in EGS' history.
E-GuideTV is a real-time television channel guide created, promoted and distributed by EGS for the hospitality industry. E-GuideTV is customized to each property's TV channel lineup and streamed into each guest room television, showcasing hourly programming information, local time, date, targeted advertisements and other entertaining content designed to engage viewers. Currently provided at no charge to properties through paid advertisements, E-GuideTV is viewed by the hospitality industry as a cost-effective way to create a more at-home experience for their guests and increase their guest satisfaction ratings.
The installation has added sixty-two (62) corporately-owned Motel 6 properties and one (1) Country Inn & Suites by Carlson property to the E-GuideTV family.
The mass installation brings the cutting-edge television channel guide to more than 7,400 additional hotel rooms in the Los Angeles, San Diego, Palm Springs and Santa Barbara areas and has expanded E-GuideTV's distribution to over 98,000 rooms nationwide, increasing gross impressions to over 9.1 million per month.
"We are excited about this tremendous achievement and believe our installation technician's expertise, professionalism, and ability to handle mass installations such as this proves E-GuideTV to be a step ahead as the number one choice for program guides in the hospitality industry," said Shaun Stark, vice president and general manager of EGS.
