MSpot, a mobile entertainment company, today announced the launch of its initial service, MSpot Radio, a live and on-demand streaming radio service delivered directly to mobile phones.

Available now on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, MSpot Radio features 13 audio channels Sprint PCS Vision customers can subscribe to directly from Sprint PCS Vision Multimedia Phones.

MSpot Radio delivers live and on-demand audio content in real-time directly to Sprint wireless multimedia handsets. Sprint subscribers can choose from eight different genres of commercial-free music channels, such as Today's Top Hits, Pop, Hip Hop or classics from the 70’s and 80’s.

Subscribers will also get breaking news and live sports updates from NPR®, Sporting News, MarketWatch, Associated Press and AccuWeather. MSpot Radio is available on channel 16 for $5.95 per month.

"We are pleased be the first CDMA wireless service provider to offer live and on demand music, news and talk radio," said John Burris, Springt's director of Product Marketing and Strategy.

Sprint PCS Vision customers can easily preview and purchase MSpot Radio directly from their phones through the "Available Channels" menu located on the Sprint media player. Once a user has subscribed to MSpot, it is easy to browse, select and play any of the MSpot channels through the media player.

In the coming months MSpot will unveil additional premium entertainment services, including movies and mobile-exclusive original content.

"Our goal is to continue to introduce new services in order to bring the widest range of premium entertainment programming to the world’s most ubiquitous mobile device - the mobile phone."
