Highest Ever Number Watch Leaders Debate Live On Their Mobile Phones

April 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Figures produced by free live mobile TV company Yamgo (http://www.yamgo.com), following the live BBC debate, showed that the viewing figures were the highest ever recorded for any programme watched in the UK on mobile.  The previous record being the IPL T20 cricket last year with 2,900 viewers.  

The company said that typically viewers who watch TV on their mobile do so because of its convenience, often when others in the household are watching another programme on the home's primary television, or those who do not have access to a TV because they are at work, travelling or in hospital.

Yamgo offers viewers the opportunity to watch live breaking news, music videos, movies, exciting sports and the best entertainment shows on your phone at http://www.yamgo.mobi. By using a 3G or Wi-Fi connection mobile users can instantly access television on the go without the need for any software downloads.

Yamgo's CEO, Ian Mullins, said: 'More people watched the leaders' debate live on their mobile phone than have ever watched any other live broadcast in the UK, which just shows the level of interest in next week's General Election. Watching it on your mobile handset means that you can watch it pretty much wherever you are, even if a television is not
available and this is obviously what happened last night.   It also clearly shows the younger technology savy generation are for the first time really interested in the political debate, which I feel is a great turning point for UK politics and the country.'
