Glee bolsters Blackberry launch of Fox's Bitbop TV app

NBC and CBS on board for beta debut.

Fox Mobile Group has launched a beta version of its new Bitbop mobile TV service, for a range of BlackBerry handsets.

The Bitbop application is available for RIM's Bold 9000 and 9700, Curve 8900 and Tour 9630 lines, with more to come.

The app lets people watch full episodes of TV shows on a streaming basis over 3G and Wi-Fi. Partners include NBC, CBS and Comedy Central, with shows available at launch including Glee and The Office.

CrackBerry reports that the beta is free, but when the service launches fully, it's likely to cost $10 a month.

For now, it's US-only due to licensing restrictions.
