TV shows to run on Sprint cellphones
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Full episodes of ABC’s prime-time shows including “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Lost” and “Ugly Betty” are available on mobile phones for the first time.
The Disney-ABC Television Group announced a deal with Sprint Nextel Corp. to make news and entertainment programs available to customers of Sprint’s wireless TV services. Depending on whether Sprint customers have the $15 or $20 monthly TV plans, the shows will be offered on-demand or in a linear feed, meaning that viewers have to tune in to the mobile channel to see what’s on.
