The "Shazam for TV" part of the app now works with programming at any time of day on over 160 U.S. channels, the company said, with the exception of local news broadcasts.
Here's how it works: if a viewer is watching "Mad Men," the app can pull up cast information, actor photos, gossip, trivia and social networking activity surrounding the show. If it's a sports event, the app will show schedules, scores and statistics.
As well as boosting its TV elements, the mobile app will soon get new social features including linked Facebook friend activity, allowing you to comment, tag and discuss a show or song you're watching or listening to. Users will also be able to get social over Twitter and Google+. These features will be launched in the coming weeks.

Shazam also announced today that it now has over 250 million daily users worldwide.
