The service offers many popular TV channels such as ESPN 3, MSNBC, ABC News Now, NBC Mobile, CNBC, FOX Sports, The Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, The Weather Channel, Comedy Time, California Music Channel, Major League Baseball Highlight Channel and others including country-specific channels outside the United States. Founded in 1999, MobiTV is a privately-held company headquartered in Berkeley, CA. For more information on the company, its products or technology, visit www.mobitv.com.

MobiTV is provided through traditional mobile networks so it does not represent a mobile broadcast convergence platform with regards to infrastructures. However, MobiTV is also important for mobile broadcast as it shows the viability of mobile broadcast services from a content point of view
