Microsoft and tribute.ca have struck a content/distrib deal that will make Tribute tv, broadcast on Global Television, also available through Microsoft Windows Media Player.

The half-hour series that features celebrity interviews and film previews will be specifically featured in the new Canadian Media Guide of Windows Media Player 7, making the program accessible to millions of users.

‘Our company has made a serious commitment to play a lead role in converging traditional entertainment content with the Internet,’ says Brian Stewart, ceo of Tribute Entertainment Media Group. ‘As tribute.ca users benefit from the high-quality audio and video technology of Windows Media, this agreement will increase Tribute’s presence on the Internet as a premier destination for motion picture entertainment.’

Tribute.ca is a complete entertainment portal, featuring movie listings, show times, entertainment news and movie trailers, as well as information and photographs of international celebrities.
