Google Search is adding a brilliant new feature for TV junkies like me
- Google Search is making it easier for TV viewers interested in pro sports games and in live TV content to figure out what to watch next.
- Google Search is rolling out new tools for TV viewers that include carousels of live content from cable and broadcast providers.
- Google Search is also giving sports fans live TV options and will now help users figure out how to tune in across a variety of services where a game they're interested in may be available.
One of the great problems to have for a TV junkie like me, as the players involved in the so-called Streaming Wars have continued to multiple this year and everything has gotten an order of magnitude more competitive, is that the task of figuring out what to watch whenever I have some free time involves sorting through an embarrassment of small-screen riches. There are plenty of networks whose shows I love, including HBO, FX, and AMC, to say nothing of my watchlist of shows that spans streamers like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+. Keeping track of what's debuting where, and what shows are rolling off as well as investigating new titles that sound interesting to you ... for many people, it's kind of a hit-or-miss thing. We're all incredibly busy, and we rely on chance to let us know what we want to know. We might stumble across a YouTube trailer alerting us to a new series that sounds interesting. Or a news article that makes us aware of some tidbit about a TV series we didn't know about already.
The thing that would be great to have is some sort of TV Guide that spans all of the streamers and channels we love. Something that, thankfully, already exists, within a service most of us are already using regularly anyway -- Google Search.
