BuddyTV Gets 6 Million More

By Jeremy Schoemaker 22 comments

I saw on Techcrunch this morning that BuddyTV has raised $6 million more in series B financing. I am a big fan of BuddyTV ever since I met its CEO Andy Liu last year. This year Andy was a speaker at the Elite Retreat and I think he put together an amazing presentation.

BuddyTV was also a featured publisher of the month for AuctionAds after they had switched there advertising over last May.

My wife and I both have pretty demanding careers but we still make time to watch our favorite shows Tivo’d. After the shows I usually hit BuddyTV to see what others are saying. Especially with LOST.

By the way anyone else watch Rock Of Love? I was so happy to see Brett Choose Ambre last night in its season finale… Good job Brett!

Anyway congrats to Andy on the financing!

Great, you just spoiled my whole season of Rock of Love. I had it all Tivo’d and ready to go! No point in watching it now? Which one was Amber?

I don’t watch TV but I’ve been playing around on the site. Some of the features (like rate or hate celebs) can get addicting. Lot’s of fun and site flows well.

I agree, Rock of Love, you just cant stop. Such a horrible show, but I cant look away! Lost on the other hand BRILLIANT!

Haven’t heard of BuddyTV before, will go check it out. Seems like a cool concept if financiers are willing to lob money at it.

If you have a cool concept with a lot of potential, you will find an investor.
