Under the Hood
The widgets in this mashup are consumers of a WSDL based Web Service provided by Zap2it, which is a entertainment listings product of Tribune Media Services (TMS). TMS listings are featured in most newspapers and many on-screen programming guides, personal video recorders and top web portals. Zap2it takes TMS data and mixes it with original content and services to create a unique experience. TMS also operates the TV Week Network, the advertising network for newspaper TV magazines.
