Cartoon Network mobile TV soon will be available to Orange subscribers across Europe

The collaboration with France Telecom, means Orange subscribers across 7 key markets in Europe will be able to watch a daily updated and localized selection of fast paced, cutting edge Cartoon Network shows via their handsets, wherever and whenever they like! The deal furthermore gives an additional 6 markets the option to launch the service at a later stage in 2006/2007.

Whether it’s the sweet-talking, bicep-bulging Johnny Bravo sweeping the ladies of their feet or the scientific world of Dexter’s Laboratory, people on buses, at school, in parks or in the office will have smiles on their faces as they tune in via their mobile phones, having the freedom to enjoy TV entertainment on the go!

Phil Lawrie, Vice President Commercial Distribution & Digital Media Sales for Turner Broadcasting, said, "We at Turner are delighted to have reached an agreement with Orange to launch our Cartoon Network mobile TV service across 7 markets in Europe with a further 6 markets likely to come on-board a bit further down the line.
