Created in 1994 by Professor Lesley Goldschlager of Monash University and his internet company Sofcom, a pioneering producer of online content in Australia in the 1990s, the Australian TV Guide was the first publication in Australia to provide internet users with a local and searchable online television guide.
The first guides produced only covered the major capital cities of Australia.
In November 1999, Sofcom introduced schedules for regional Australia.
[1] The Australian TV Guide was supported by online advertising and syndication of its listings, providing content to portal sites such as Yahoo!, Bigpond and Looksmart.
In 2014 eBroadcast Pty Limited expanded into the United States[2] and later into Canada[3] and the United Kingdom[4] with a spin-off site called On TV Tonight, producing electronic program guides for international channels and audiences outside of Australia.
