MGM Networks has announced its first major agreement with Vodafone in Germany. Following a soft launch last month, The MGM Channel, which is currently available to pay television subscribers all across German-speaking Europe, will now also be available to mobile subscribers through Vodafone.
The MGM Channel is available on the 3G Vodafone Live! network in Germany, offering movies from the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film library – including films from the Pink Panther and Rocky franchises, as well as The Thomas Crown Affair, Terminator, Man in the Iron Mask and Robocop, among many others.
Vodafone Live! reaches some six million customers with video capable handsets and offers more than 40 channels, including 1:1 TV, classical linear broadcast and made-for-mobile content highlights in addition to more than 20,000 videos, including full length streaming, an EPG for all mobile TV channels; and free TV-reminders via SMS for selected mobile TV formats.
