Local TV Stations to Deliver News and Weather To Phones

Internet Broadcasting, a company that gives over 70 local TV stations an online Web and advertising presence, has brokered a deal with Crisp Wireless to deliver content to cellphones. Crisp provides technology that determines exactly what your phone is capable of displaying before sending out a media stream. Possibilities include local weather radar images and sports headlines for local teams. The stations themselves will sell ads to support the ventures.
