MTV, Sprint Announce Content Deal

MTV and Sprint today announced they’d teamed to bring video and audio content to the latter’s cellular network. Content will be drawn specifically from CMT, MTV, VH1 and Comedy Central.

Under the terms of the arraignment, said the two organizations, select clips from MTV Networks programs as “CMT Insider”, “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”, “Laguna Beach” and “Best Week Ever” will be made available for on-demand viewing as part of the Sprint TV line up. In addition, the domestic wireless service will also stream audio from the CMT, MTV and VH1 radio stations and receive original made-for-mobile content.
