MediaFLO USA has announced the expansion of its news coverage to include three new 24/7 news channels to its mobile TV service: CNBC, MSNBC, and FOX News. The new channels will be available to both AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless mobile TV subscribers and will launch in time for the political party convention season.
All three channels will offer simulcast programming 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, and AT&T Mobile TV customers have access to a full-time CNN Mobile channel.
