UK Firm Buys LA-Based Mobile Video Studio

United Kingdom-based ROK Entertainment Group said it has acquired a controlling stake in Fun Little Movies, a Los Angeles company that focuses on original video content for mobile, RCR Wireless News reports.

Under the agreement, ROK and FLM said they will “jointly offer made-for-mobile content to wireless network operators around the world. FLM specializes in mobile-oriented, ad-supported comedies.”

The articles doesn’t name any specific properties. But the company said that they currently have deals in place with AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon–the three major carriers here in the U.S. that offer mobile TV services. (T-Mobile’s 2G data network isn’t fast enough.)
