Informa Telecoms & Media's leading TV title Television Business International (TBI) is launching an app for both iPhone and iPad users which will provide access to TBI's exclusive Programme Prices Guide, as well as the latest news from the TV industry. The app will launch in time for the MIPCOM TV event in Cannes this October and will be available to download for free.

Not only will users have access to all of the news and opinion on the TBIvision website (www.TBIvision.com) but they will also be able to easily search TBI's Programme Prices Guide information. This guide consists of data which is gathered exclusively by TBI and stretches to pricing information for over forty territories and across various genres. Users will be able to search by genre or territory.

TBI editor Stewart Clarke said: "People in the TV business are invariably on the move and an increasing number of them rely on their iPhones, so TBI's free app will allow them to keep up with the latest news as well as to access our invaluable Programme Prices Guide."

The TBI app, which is being designed and implemented by leading UK-based smartphone app agency AlwaysOnMessage, will enable users to:

- Access detailed programme pricing information for all major TV territories in Asia, Europe, North America and Australasia.
