To keep on top of fast-growing technologies, News 3 announced the launch of Wisconsin Mobile Wednesday.

This free service allows anyone with a compatible phone the opportunity to watch streaming news, weather and sports all from the comfort of a cell phone. It’s the first free full-video service in the country to support all major cell phone carriers.

Getting in touch is easy, provided you have one of the latest and greatest cell phones. Visit WisconsinMobile.com to see the list of phones that are supported. Then click on your phone, sign up and you’ll be watching streaming video in no time. If your phone isn’t listed, don’t worry. Just send us an e-mail, and you’ll be notified once the service is available.

WISC-TV Executive Vice President & General Manager David Sanks said Wisconsin Mobile is an easy way to keep in touch with the latest news no matter where you are.

"We are excited to offer our viewers an even more convenient way to get up-to-the minute information in our area and look forward to leading the nation with this next step in delivering news in the 21st century," Sanks said.

With this initial launch Wisconsin Mobile will feature news and weather updates throughout the day. In the future, the station plans to add sports, breaking news and other stories gathered by the news department. But that’s not all. WISC-TV is also looking to viewers for ideas on what more they’d like to see.
