shattered.gif UK Channel 4 Shattered TV programme is being streamed live over GPRS to users of video-capable mobile phones, reports Mike Grenville for 160characters.org.

"Channel 4's Interactive division, 4Interactive, and Endemol UK, the media production company, have signed a deal with wireless streaming technology company Vemotion to offer viewers end-to-end live programming of new round-the-clock show Shattered from a range of video-capable GPRS (2.5G) mobile handsets.

This is the first time that TV-to-mobile service has been offered in the UK from a terrestrial channel".
