South Park Comes to the Mobile Phone

Comedy Central Mobile has announced plans for the launch of "South Park Mobile," a newly developed application that enables mobile users to access South Park related content from a central hub on their wireless devices.

The "South Park Mobile" application will be available cross-carrier in the USA later this year.

"South Park Mobile" was developed in close collaboration with South Park Studios to provide fans with a constant connection to the "South Park" community. Mobile consumers using the application can directly access message boards, streaming video, behind-the-scenes news and blogs, ringtones, graphics and much more. "South Park Mobile" was designed to incorporate standard online conventions from southparkstudios.com and comedycentral.com to allow new users to seamlessly navigate through the show's mobile content via innovative, made-for-mobile interfaces.

"'South Park Mobile' is the ultimate wireless hub giving fans an interactive, personal and community experience," said Erik Flannigan, senior vice president, Digital Media, Comedy Central. "With the launch of the 'South Park Mobile' application, we are providing mobile consumers with a constant 'South Park' fix and access to exclusive content -- all in one central location."

The new application features the "South Park" character creator which allows users to build their own avatar to be displayed on the message boards and within their personal profiles, fresh video content updated weekly and delivered through a built-in media player, production blogs from South Park Studios, exclusive news, Q&A's with show creators Parker and Stone and other key players, flipbooks from exclusive "South Park" events, favorite episodes, as well as storyboard art and behind-the-scenes photos."
