Nokia's new 'TV channel'

Well known if you watch a lot of UK television, that is. And even then it could be a bit of a stretch for some.

For Nokia has employed the likes of Jonny Smith, Margo Stilley, Wayne Hemmingway, David Phelan, Ben de Lisi and Jonny Woo to front 96 second mobisiodes encompassing motoring, fashion, gadgets, comedy, culture and homes.

The channel is called Capsule N96 and will mark the launch of the Nokia N96 in the UK on October 1st.

Programmes will be available to download from the Nokia website on that date, with new mobisodes available weekly until the end of November.

Simon Ainslie, managing director at Nokia UK, said: “The quick-fire and exciting programming that forms Capsule N96 really reflects the dynamic nature of the Nokia N96 and its users.

“Watching great content is no longer inherently linked to your living room. Great devices like Nokia N96 allow you to decide what content and when so the opportunities are endless on where to watch new shows and old favourites alike.”
