ITV Launching Made For Mobile TV Series “The Gym”
ITV is launching its first TV series designed specifically to be watched across mobile devices and the internet on Monday, the Guardian reports. The show, the Gym, is a comedy series starring Might Boosh actor Rich Fuller, and Channel 4’s Plus One actress Ingrid Oliver, that will launch first on ITV Mobile, and then on ITV.com’s entertainment channel a week later. The “mobicom,” as ITV calls it, was created by production company Hub TV, and will consist of 50 two-minute episodes. ITV has been talking to advertisers to sponsor the show, but said it had not confirmed anything at the time. This is the second made-for-mobile show from ITV (LSE: ITV). In November it launched Hot Desk, a celebrity interview show (rather than a series) especially for mobile devices.
