Tribune Media, a unit of media conglomerate Tribune company, has acquired video search engine CastTV, according to a release issued today. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the acquisition includes all of CastTV&'s technology, products, intellectual property and staff, including co-founders Edwin Ong and Alex Vikati, who founded the San Francisco-based company together in 2006.

CastTV, which launched at TechCrunch40 in 2007, as a comprehensive video search engine.

CastTV&'s search technology aggregates, indexes and presents data on millions of TV shows, movies, music videos, news and sports clips, and viral videos from more than 1,000 web-video sources.

It looks like Tribune will be using CastTV&'s indexing technology across its media properties, and will also continue to operate CastTV&'s consumer-facing site.

CastTV has raised $3.1 million in funding from Ron Conway, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, and Marc Andreessen.
