TV Community BuddyTV Gets $6 Million Second Round
This story was written by Joseph Weisenthal.
Mea culpa seems like things have changed for the company since we last reported on it: TV community site BuddyTV has raised a $6 million second round led by Madrona Venture Group. The Seattle-based company has previously raised about $3 million from Gemstar TV-Guide and Charles River Ventures, for a total raise of $9 million. We had previously reported that BuddyTV had been acquired by *Comcast*, though this announcement obviously shows that to have been turned out wrong, by later developments. The site offers information on various TV shows and actors, along with community message boards, reviews and other TV-related content. Funding will go towards investing in new personnel and technology. Though it isn't offering hard numbers, it claims "several million" unique users per month.
