FLO TV, the subscription live broadcast TV service owned and operated by Qualcomm, has expanded its deal with Turner Broadcasting to bring CNN Mobile, which includes programming from CNN/US, CNN International and HLN (Headline News), to the FLO TV Personal Television and FLO TV Auto Entertainment platforms.

 

CNN Mobile has previously been carried by AT&T as part of its FLO TV offering. Verizon, the other carrier that markets FLO TV, does not carry the channel. Programming on the CNN Mobile service includes Anderson Cooper 360, Larry King Live, Amanpour, Backstory and Morning Express with Robin Meade.

 

"Live, breaking news is consistently a top performer on the FLO TV service, as people strive to stay connected to the world around them," said FLO TV Senior VP Jonathan Barzilay in a statement. "Adding CNN Mobile to additional devices with our service is a natural fit and keeps our subscribers connected to news and analysis anytime, anywhere."
