Interactive TV Headlines Round-Up 7/28/14 (V): Interlude, Kumo, Xbox Entertainment Studios, MLBAM, MTV, Snapchat, NBCU, Netflix, Disney, Orange, "Seinfeld," NETV, NPD, Annalect
July 27, 2014
As most of you are probably aware, [itvt]'s news reporting was on hiatus for several weeks, because our editorial team was working on TVOT 2014 and then taking a post-event break. In order to catch up with the news we missed during that period, we are covering stories in headlines/round-up format (note: we have marked older stories with the date they originally broke). We expect it will take us a few weeks to catch up with all recent developments, so if you have sent us a press release or briefed us about a piece of news, and don't yet see it covered here, please bear with us.
