TV Squad is a television weblog founded on March 10, 2005 and resides within the most visited sites of the Weblogs, Inc. (WIN) family of weblogs.
History
TV Squad was initially envisioned by WIN CEO Jason Calacanis as a destination for fans of television shows to read recaps of not only recently aired episodes of television programs, but also recaps of episodes of TV shows of the past. It was quickly realized that readers of TV Squad were much more interested in reading television news and reviews of current programs, which is the primary format the weblog follows today.TV Squad has become a frequent destination for readers looking for the latest insight into television shows such as Lost and American Idol, as well as spoilers for any of the more popular television shows currently airing. The TV Squad bloggers also frequently interview television celebrities and persons in the industry, offering them transcribed and occasionally with an accompanying audio attachment. The weblog also features several podcasts, including the TV Squad All Points Bulletin and the TV Squad Lost Podcast.
Bloggers
TV Squad was originally conceptualized to allow any WIN blogger to write about the television shows they watch. Eventually a core group of bloggers for the site was realized, with several other WIN bloggers contributing on an irregular basis. TV Squad currently has approximately 17 regularly contributing bloggers.As with most other WIN blogs, TV Squad has editorial lead bloggers. These lead bloggers are responsible for activating posts, managing bloggers, assigning features and working with outside media contacts.
Awards
Though its accuracy has been called into question by some, TV Squad has been listed among the top three weblogs on the [Feedster 500] list.See also
