A personal introduction (dating) system 10 includes mobile telephone network 12, television broadcast network 16 and profile processing system 14. Processing system 14 receives a text message comprising a user profile (and optionally image files) sent from a communication device, e.g. a mobile phone 30. Profile processor 18 creates a user profile biography, corresponding to the received profile, which is stored in biography database 22. Biographies are loaded into carousel memory (26) and then broadcast over television network 16 for display on digital television 32 in household 34. After viewing a broadcasted biography, a viewing system user my request the profile associated with the biography by entering a request code into mobile phone 30 as a text message and transmitting it to processing system 14. Processing system 14 retrieves the profile corresponding to the request code and transmits it back to mobile phone 30. A home page (62) displayed on television 32 may also provide a "define your date" searching function (68).
