The initiative is the first mobile-TV deal for an NBC Universal entertainment cable network.

The Bravo To Go content, refreshed weekly, will include episode summaries and excerpts, as well as other extras. Amp’d is a mobile-virtual-network operator, or MVNO; investors include MTV Networks and Universal Music Group.
