Showtime Launches Mobile Video

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 9, 2006

Mobile Streams and Showtime Networks Inc. announced today that Mobile Streams has built an Off-Deck WAP portal to provide mobile users with access to content from SHOWTIME programs for the first time. WAP, or Wireless Application Protocol, is a secure specification that allows users to access information instantly via handheld wireless devices such as mobile phones, pagers, two-way radios, smartphones and communicators. Mobile users with 2.5G or 3G handsets will be able to access the mobile offering, subject to carrier and handset capabilities.

This is a groundbreaking arrangement where a television network will give consumers cross-carrier access to video clips from its shows. At launch, the SHOWTIME WAP portal gives mobile users access to video clips and wallpapers from the critically acclaimed new Original Series DEXTER starring Michael C. Hall, as well as video clips from the Emmy®-nominated and Golden Globe®-winning WEEDS and the new sketch comedy series THE UNDERGROUND starring Damon Wayans. Content from other Showtime programming, such as SLEEPER CELL, THE L WORD and SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will be rolled out in the coming weeks.

The launch of this WAP portal coincides with the multimedia promotional campaign surrounding the premiere of SHOWTIME’s newest hit original series DEXTER. In addition to giving consumers access to this portal on their mobile phones via http://wap.sho.com, messaging has been integrated into print, outdoor and on-air promotion for DEXTER to prompt mobile users to send a text message to SHOWTIME to request more content and information on the show. For example, users can text the word “DEXTER” to the short code SHOTV (74688) in order to receive more information and content on the show via mobile. Users can also learn how to access this mobile content at http://sho.com/dexter.

Robert Hayes, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Media for Showtime Networks commented: “Mobile has become an increasingly important component of our overall program promotion and marketing campaigns. It offers us an excellent subscriber acquisition and program sampling opportunity on the expanding mobile platform” Hayes concluded.

Chris Rovtar, Senior Vice President of Mobile Streams, who manages the SHOWTIME relationship says: “We are extremely excited to be involved in the SHOWTIME mobile application. This is the opportune time to raise the curtain on SHOWTIME mobile content by providing users with a very rich video experience.”

The SHOWTIME WAP solution is managed by Mobile Streams’ full service enterprise mobile media management solution “Vuesia”, which manages content ingestion, transcoding, and formatting for all handsets for both domestic and international carriers.

Think Global, Act Mobile: New App Puts Global Change in Your Hands

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 15, 2011

As world leaders prepare to meet in New York this month for high-level meetings at the UN General Assembly, the United Nations Foundation launched a first-of-its-kind mobile and tablet application that makes it easy for people everywhere to connect with the United Nations. The application allows people everywhere, free of charge, to get the latest news on the life-saving work of the United Nations and to share information through social media and mobile technology. The free app for smartphones and tablets will aggregate news feeds from multiple UN agencies and programs and deliver news in one integrated, real-time stream that is easy-to-use and tailored to a persons interests and individual mobile device. Users can personalize their UN news by selecting the topic areas and regions of most interest. The stream will be available in all six of the official languages of the UN.

During a launch event at UN headquarters today, UN Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information Kiyo Akasaka and UN Foundation CEO Kathy Calvin unveiled the mobile app, inviting people to help the UN solve global problems by getting connected and staying informed.

Just as open, social and real-time technologies are changing the UNs development and disaster relief work, the same technologies are redefining relationships between people and institutions, said Akasaka. Tools such as the UN Foundation’s new app are critical to empower citizens to stay informed about the UNs work, to participate in the global conversation, and to support the push to realize the Millennium Development Goals.

Singer-songwriter and UN Messenger of Peace Stevie Wonder, High School Musical star and UN Youth Champion Monique Coleman and Toshiba America Senior Manager of Communications Eddie Temistokle joined to help launch the new app and stressed the importance of innovation to combat poverty worldwide.

As UN Youth Champion, I traveled the world for six months visiting over 20 countries. I saw firsthand the role that technology can play particularly in education, said Coleman. I encourage everyone to download this app. It can bridge the gap between young people and the United Nations and equip today’s philanthroteen with the tools he or she needs to have global social impact.

The application, which is already available on the Android, iPhone/iPad, and Windows Phone platforms, allows users to support the work of the UN to tackle the worlds most pressing challenges by supporting UN Foundation campaigns and programs, including Nothing but Nets, Girl Up, the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, the Better World Campaign, and the United Nations Association of the USA. The app is compatible with the accessibility features of most smartphones, and future versions and updates will always welcome ways to make mobile technology and information as accessible as possible.

When we imagine the peaceful, healthy world we want our children to inherit, the UN is at the heart of that vision. And now the power to be part of that future is literally in the palm of our hands, said Calvin. Mobile technology has the ability to connect millions of people to world issues such as childrens health, peace and security, womens empowerment, climate and the environment, and U.S.-UN relations. We invite people to make global action a part of their mobile devices by downloading the new UN Foundation application to get real-time updates on the UNs work and take action that will make a difference for millions of people around the globe.

The app makes it easy to get involved and includes some innovative (and fun) ways to learn about the work of the United Nations. An upcoming interactive photo-scramble game, Pieces of Peace, will give users the ability to have fun while they learn by unscrambling photos taken around the world that are related to the work of the UN. The game includes ways for users to learn as they play, helping build awareness and knowledge about international issues. Integrated social media options also allow users to organically share this content with friends, brag about their photo-unscrambling prowess, and encourage them to get involved.

Building and launching this official UN Foundation application has been a global effort. The app was developed through a partnership with FDV Solutions an Argentina-based software development company that builds innovative mobile solutions. The project was made possible with the support of the UN Foundations Global Entrepreneurs Council, which brings together some of the worlds top young leaders committed to finding innovative solutions to global problems.

The launch of the UN Foundation app marks an important milestone as the nonprofit community moves to create new ways for supporters to help drive social change, said Shervin Pishevar, Managing Director at Menlo Ventures. As a member of the UN Foundations Global Entrepreneurs Council, I am excited to support a project that will help ensure that people around the world have instant access to information about the lifesaving work of the United Nations, as well as the ability to take action anytime, anyplace.
