LocateTV Working With Joost?

After Joost announced that it was opening it’s doors to the public, I wondered if LocateTV carried programming information for programs that were featured on Joost. So, I sent LocateTV an inquiring email. They responded by saying that it was definitely a good idea. However, it was not one of their priorities at the moment.
The Locate team have a very large number of platforms to cover and the goal is indeed complete coverage, but priority at the moment are those sites that have shows in demand/big audiences. Joost, while having a lot of buzz, has a small audience and in fact has relatively little content that is both unique to it and commanding a big audience.
So until Joost becomes the equivalent of in home cable, don’t expect LocateTV to be carrying programming information for them anytime soon.
