ABC News furthered its reputation for pioneering new media by offering its news to PlayStation Portable users, making it the platform’s first news and information content provider.
Consumers who own Sony’s PSP can now download programs to view on the hand-held device.
“Today, 99% of people with PSPs are using it to play the fantastic games,” said Bernie Gershon, ABC News digital media group senior vp and general manager. “But our view is that wherever there is a screen, there is a potential viewer of ABC News.”
The first programs being offered is the show “Ahead of the Curve,” music reviews and other shortform content drawn from the network’s all-digital ABC News Now.
