FLO TV fades to black as Qualcomm terminates service

As previously announced, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) halted viewer access to its ill-fated FLO TV mobile broadcasting solution on March 26. Featuring simulcast and time-shifted broadcast content from partners including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN, MTV and CNN, FLO TV went nationwide in mid-2009 in conjunction with U.S. broadcasters' long-planned transition from analog to digital, but never found its footing with consumers. Qualcomm first acknowledged plans to divest FLO TV in late July 2010, later selling the wireless spectrum underlying the service to AT&T (NYSE:T) for $1.92 billion. Article
