Based on two recent job postings, it appears TiVo is expanding their Media and Advertising team into New York. Under CEO Tom Rogers, TiVo has been aggressively seeking out partnerships and deals — this move is indicative of that trend. I posed some questions to TiVo’s media relations agency, but haven’t heard back yet.

Office Assistant
TiVo, the creator and brand leader of DVR and services is looking for an Office Assistant for our New York Office.This will require all of your wits, multi-tasking and excellent communication skills. If you have thrived in a cross-functional environment, had your personality and sense of diplomacy raved about, we’d love to consider you!
Woohoo… maybe TiVo wants an office closer to the media capital (in regards to network offices & such). That plus they’ll be a hell of a lot closer to me now. Doesn’t look like they’ll be doing any tech stuff out of NYC but still it’ll be cool to have a TiVo presence nearby.
A reader informed me TiVo’s had a presence in New York, though it appears to be expanding as indicated by the job openings.
“The NY office is not new. I think they got it because Tom would not move. It’s first mentioned in 6-29 8-k press release when he was hired last year. Then again in the 10-31 10-q filed with the SEC at sec.gov.”
