Family Guy on Mobiles

Fox Mobile Entertainment, Airborne Entertainment and Netherlands-based mobile entertainment and solutions provider Mowave have teamed up to bring Fox's animated television series, Family Guy to mobile operators across a range of countries outside of North America.

Mowave plans to create comprehensive Family Guy mobile destinations that will be available on operator portals. Mowave and Airborne will cooperate to create a variety of original mobile content for the service including wallpapers, animations, ring tones, video ringers, ring back tones and community applications. Mowave will begin by rolling out Family Guy services in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands.

"Family Guy has been a successful mobile brand for us and we look forward to expanding this offering. . By partnering with Mowave, we were able to plug into one of the widest and most solid distribution networks on operator portals outside of North America," said Garner Bornstein, CEO of Airborne.

"Family Guy has really become a worldwide phenomenon. It seems that there is something universally entertaining about the irreverently odd world of the Griffins." said Leighton Webb, VP, International Wireless for Fox Mobile Entertainment. "We're excited to bring that unique world to mobile phones around the globe and we're sure that the show's success will continue in this new media."
