Abstract: Broadcast receivers, computer implemented methods and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for sharing event information. Sharing event information involves, at a sender end, collecting event information for a broadcast after receiving a command from the sender and creating a message that includes the event information. The sender may then select one or more contacts with whom to share the event information. Thereafter, the message and information on the contact is transmitted to a mobile device of the sender over a short range communication link. The message may then be automatically forwarded from the mobile device to the selected recipients. At the recipient end, the message is received from the mobile device of the recipient over a short range communication link and processed to determine if the message is a recommendation message. If so, the contents of the message are extracted and displayed on a television display of the recipient.
