Orange Applies for 2 DVB-H Mobile TV Licences

Orange has applied for two television channels in response to a call for applications made by the French Audiovisual Council on 6 November 2007 for the allocation of DVB-H mode frequencies to be used for broadcasting Personal Mobile Television services.

The first channel is Orange Sports TV, the information and sports discovery channel already available in 3G, on Orange's broadband TV offer and on the BIS satellite package. The second channel, O'TV, is targeted at an audience of 15-35 year-olds.

Orange Sports TV: "All sport, wherever I want, whenever I want, however I want"
Orange Sports TV is the first French television channel specially created for mobile viewing. Launched on 6 September 2007, Orange Sports TV is a sports information channel with a highly specialised team of writers and crew who are lent support from the experience and content provided by its prestigious partners such as CNOSF (The French Sports and National Olympic Committee) and the Sporever Group. Orange Sports TV is also available on broadband TV, the Internet and via satellite.

O'TV: "My TV how I want it, when I want it, where I want it"
O'TV is a channel aimed at the 15-35 age group, who follow new technology and who will contribute massively to the success of the personal mobile television launch. It will offer general and interactive programmes in formats designed specially for mobile viewing.
