Disney: Live mobile TV about a year away

Disney Media Networks co-chairman Anne Sweeney said this week she anticipates the U.S. introduction of live mobile TV broadcasting within the next year to 18 months. "We're learning from Korea about a transition that will be happening in the rest of the world," Sweeney said, speculating live mobile TV service will reach U.S. shores "certainly within the next 12 to, on the outside, 24 months--more like 12 to 18." Disney, which owns ABC, has already licensed about 250 hours of primetime hits like "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" to South Korean mobile operator TU Media, Sweeney added.
