News Over Wireless is a custom application and service that enables local broadcasters to deliver news and information to mobile phone users. The mobile market has over 180 million subscribers and is growing strong. As the voice market has matured, handsets have evolved into mobile multimedia centers with color screens and data capabilities. Until now this market was only for national information providers, but News Over Wireless changes that and puts local content - the news people use and want the most - front and center.
News Over Wireless places local television stations' content in the hands of subscribers, so they can take your news with them everywhere they go.
Stations earn new revenue from these subscribers, while establishing a relationship that goes beyond the television and the computer screens. Mobile phones are the "third screen" and News Over Wireless delivers it.
Just imagine your station being with a viewer everywhere he or she goes.
News Over Wireless makes local television stations an important part of every day life in new and exciting ways. News Over Wireless builds a relationship with viewers that has never before been possible and provides subscription revenue in the process.
