THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India, July 30 – A group of engineering graduates here have launched a TV channel that could be accessed through mobile phones to promote local news and events, reports Press Trust of India (PTI).
The channel, titled ‘We 4 U’, is the first 2G/3G mobile television channel from the capital city, Aravid G S, one of its founders, told mediapersons here on Monday.
Viewers could access the innovative channel anywhere from the world with their mobile phones, he said.
“This is an era of mobile revolution and so have decided to launch a television channel based on mobile technology.
The channel could also be viewed on computer systems, laptops, iPads and tablets but not in television,” he said.
He said their channel, which is going air on test base now, would focus on local events and news like the programmes of residence associations and youth in the initial stage.
The 24×7 channel is supported on all platforms like java and android.
Viewers could access it on normal rates, Aravid said, adding that, they were planning to have tie-ups with other television networks for expansion.
