| MediaFLO USA, which is owned by Qualcomm, has expanded its news coverage to include three new standalone full-time 24/7 news channels to its award-winning mobile TV service: CNBC and MSNBC from NBC Universal, and FOX News. The new channels significantly increase the amount of live breaking news and in-depth current affairs programming available to AT&T and Verizon Wireless subscribers and will launch in time for the political party convention season. MediaFLO USA's mobile TV service is available to AT&T subscribers as AT&T Mobile TV and to Verizon Wireless customers as V CAST Mobile TV. All three channels will offer simulcast programming -- airing content at the same time as it appears on cable -- and will give consumers on-the-go access to many of the most popular news shows on cable TV, including "Squawk Box," "Mad Money with Jim Cramer" and "Power Lunch" on CNBC; "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and "Morning Joe" on MSNBC; and "FOX & Friends," "The O'Reilly Factor with Bill O'Reilly" and "Hannity & Colmes" on FOX News. |  |
In addition to the new channels, MediaFLO USA's mobile TV service provides consumers with news programming from CBS News on CBS Mobile; NBC News on NBC 2GO, featuring "The Today Show," "NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams" and "Meet The Press"; and AT&T Mobile TV customers have access to a full-time CNN Mobile channel.
All programming on the FLO TV service is subject to change.
AT&T Mobile TV and V CAST Mobile TV feature an impressive lineup of primetime news, entertainment and children's content from leading entertainment brands. Recent programming highlights include "CSI" (CBS Mobile); "The Hills" and "Real World: Hollywood Season 20" (MTV); "Bones" (FOX Mobile); NBC's "30 Rock" and more.
All programs are available to AT&T and Verizon Wireless subscribers in 58 major metropolitan areas nationwide, including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, San Diego, Seattle and Washington, D.C., among others.
