CaribeVision Television Network--a 24/7 advertising-supported
channel targeted at Latino and general audience viewers who have an
interest in the culture and lifestyle of the Caribbean (it is carried by a
number of MSO's, including Time Warner Cable and Comcast, and is
available in the New York, Miami and Puerto Rico markets)--has
signed a deal with Tactical Wireless that sees the companies
developing an SMS-based service to accompany CaribeVision's shows.
In addition to enabling CaribeVision viewers to submit opinions and
commentaries to a shortcode (note: the shortcode, 95057, can be
accessed by customers of any US carrier), the service will eventually
offer a subscription system and mobile alerts: viewers will be able to
pay a monthly fee to access additional information on CaribeVision
programming and to be part of an "interactive community" around that
programming, the companies say. The first CaribeVision shows to offer
SMS services as a result of the new deal are "El Show de Susana
Gimenez," "Hollywood Café" and "In Fragranti."
