Through Cingular Wireless' streaming video service, Cingular Video, subscribers will now have the opportunity to access a mobile, on demand version of TV Guide Channel(R) while on the go. In addition, Cingular and TV Guide Mobile Entertainment have signed an agreement under which TV Guide will deliver additional products and services to Cingular devices.
"As part of our goal to become the leading cross-platform consumer hub for video guidance, we are excited to be partnering with Cingular to offer consumers, who are passionate about television, access to exclusive TV Guide Channel(R) content almost whenever and wherever they want it," said Rich Cusick, senior vice president and general manager, Digital Media, Gemstar-TV Guide.
